Recognized Among the Best Maternity Hospitals in the U.S.
Duke University Hospital and Duke Regional Hospital are recognized among the best hospitals for maternity care by U.S. News & World Report for 2024. The recognition acknowledges our low rates of C-sections in people at low risk for pregnancy complications and other factors.
A Dedicated Team of Specialists
In addition to obstetricians-gynecologists, our care team of specialists includes gynecologic surgeons, urogynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, nurses, certified midwives, genetic counselors, nutritionists, pain management specialists, and physical therapists.
Reproductive Health Services for All
Duke's obstetrics and gynecology teams collaborate with our specialists in gender medicine to offer comprehensive care and resources and support for all ages. We offer gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ patients, including family planning, bleeding management, and contraception. We also provide pregnancy care, which includes high-risk obstetric care. Our team of experts is trained to provide high-quality, compassionate care to individuals who are considering transitioning, going through the process, or have already completed their transition and require ongoing care.
LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leaders
All Duke hospitals are recognized as LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leaders by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and received perfect scores across areas of patient-centered care, support services, and inclusive health insurance policies for LGBTQ patients.
Improving Black Maternal Health
Maternal health is an important issue for everyone, but due to racism and discrimination, Black people are more likely to experience life-threatening problems during pregnancy. Duke Health has many programs in place to improve maternal health and prevent maternal death in Black people.
