Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas has recently released to the media its BlueDistinction Centers for Maternity Care Directory of Providers. Ascension Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan was one of the Hospitals that earned this designation for Maternity Care.

This recognition is based on Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s analysis of patient outcomes, satisfaction, and additional measures collected as part of its 2023 Maternity Care Provider Survey.

According to Blue Cross and Blue Shield, BlueDistinction Centers for Maternity Care demonstrate expertise and a commitment to cost-efficient quality care for child deliveries and have better overall patient satisfaction.

Samer Antonios, MD, chief clinical officer of Ascension Via Christi thanked everyone involved for helping ensure that delivering mothers had the best possible experience and outcomes.
