What our MLKCH families are saying
At MLKCH, we use a midwife-led birthing model, meaning our midwives are there to listen to your needs and guide you through birth, with expert physicians on hand should that be necessary. The results are telling. We've been on CalHospital Compare's Maternity Honor Roll for seven years running, earned a Baby Friendly designation, and have some of the lowest C-section rates in the state.
And perhaps more importantly than all of that—we have happy moms and families. Visit our testimonials page below to hear from MLKCH moms, families, and your care team.
