These rates are for first time cesareans performed on low risk women.

It does not include V-BAC attempts or repeat sections.
They do not include sections performed for breech babies, herpes outbreak, premature births, twins and fetal death.

FRENCH HOSPITAL 19.6%

SIERRA VISTA HOSPITAL 28.8%

TWIN CITIES HOSPITAL 31.2%

MARIAN HOSPITAL 31.4%

MY DOULA CLIENTS 3%

The total percentage of cesareans performed in each hospital is higher if you include repeat sections, high risk moms, twins, breeches, and VBAC attempts.
