West Palm Beach, FL – Good Samaritan Medical Center announces it is a 5-star recipient for Vaginal Delivery as recognized by Healthgrades, a leading resource connecting consumers, physicians and health systems. This 5-star rating indicates Good Samaritan Medical Center’s clinical outcomes for Vaginal Deliveries are statistically significantly better than expected, and places Good Samaritan Medical Center among the national leaders in Vaginal Delivery.

“This achievement is the direct result of our entire team’s relentless focus on providing high-quality maternity services to our community,” said Sheri Montgomery, CEO of Good Samaritan Medical Center. “Having a baby is one of the most wonderful experiences for a family, and we are pleased to continue providing an excellent standard of care our patients have come to expect for more than 100 years.”
