The maternity center was most recently honored by the New York State Perinatal Quality Collaborative (or NYSPQC), which in partnership with the state Department of Health aims to provide the “best and safest care for women and infants in the state.”
Oswego Health’s maternity center was presented with the Obstetrical Improvement Project 2015 Quality Improvement Award for its participation in a project that focused on identifying and treating maternal hemorrhage and hypertension, the two leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in New York, according to an Oswego Health news release.
