Reedsburg Area Medical Center Health

The Birth Center at Reedsburg Area Medical Center is proud to announce that they have received high ratings in all categories from the Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care Survey that was recently conducted. 

The Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care Survey is a national survey of infant feeding practices in maternity care settings. Every two years, all U.S. hospitals that provide maternity services and free-standing birth centers are invited to participate.

The overall score is calculated from several Care Dimension subscores. These Care Dimensions are a group of hospital care procedures that, when offered consistently, result in better breastfeeding outcomes. The key components of this care system were identified using the best available science and evidence. This evidence spans a wide range, from results of randomized trials to expert opinion, producing a set of connected best practices that make up a facility’s infant feeding care system.
