Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2022 Thank You to all my supporters, voters, campaign workers and family members who supported my campaign in the special election for ward 5 councilor. I am forever grateful. Ron Clark (Paid Pol. Adv.) Cambridge Health Alliance named to Newsweek’s List of Best Maternity Hospitals 2022 CHA recognized for excellence in reducing pregnancy risk CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), a community health system serving Cambridge, Somerville and Boston’s metro-north communities, has been included on Newsweek’s list of Best Maternity Hospitals 2022. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. This honor refl ects CHA’s extensive eff orts to reduce pregnancy risk, including adoption of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative model and low Cesarean section rates. Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) is one of Newsweek’s Best Maternity Hospitals 2022. CHA has expertise in primary care, specialty care and mental health/substance abuse services, as well as caring for diverse and complex populations. CHA includes two hospital campuses, a network of primary care and specialty practices and the Cambridge Public Health Department. Patients at CHA have seamless access to advanced care through the system’s affi liation with Beth Israel Lahey Health. CHA is a Harvard Medical School teaching affi liate and is also affi liated with several other local medical schools. Newsweek and Statista developed a complex methodology to ensure the quality and validity of the ranking. Three data sources were used for the evaluation: • Nationwide online survey: Hospital managers and healthcare professionals with knowledge about maternity processes (e.g., midwives, neonatal and OB/GYNs) were asked to recommend leading maternity hospitals in the United States • Medical Key Performance Indicators on hospitals with a focus on indicators relevant to maternity care • Results from patient surveys To reduce pregnancy risks, CHA adopted key elements of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative model, which is proven to reduce death during or after childbirth. “It’s more than bringing departments together – it’s about having a toolkit in place that we practice regularly,” explained CHA’s Chief of OB/GYN, Kathleen Harney, MD. “We now identify patients at higher risk before there’s a problem, allowing us to be better prepared to respond quickly. Our OB/GYN team worked very hard to put this system in place and we’re saving women’s lives.” Newsweek and Statista invited more than 10,000 medical professionals to participate in the survey. Only 350 winners were recognized on the Best Maternity Hospitals 2022 list, which can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
