Woodlawn Hospital’s Maternity Oasis has been recognized by the Indiana Hospital Association (IHA), in partnership with State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, for its commitment to infant and maternal health at the fifth annual INspire Hospital of Distinction recognition program.
INspire, funded by the Indiana Department of Health’s Safety PIN grant, was developed to implement the delivery of best practice care for Hoosier moms and babies and recognize hospitals for excellence in addressing key drivers of infant and maternal health.
Woodlawn earned an INspire Category of Excellence recognition based on implementing best practices in key areas, including perinatal substance use and social drivers of health.
“We are thrilled to be recognized for our Maternity Oasis team's daily hard work. This demonstrates one of the many ways we continue to earn the right to care for our mothers and babies in our community by providing excellent care, services, and education,” Chief Nursing Officer Cathy Lowe said.
“The Indiana Department of Health remains focused on working with healthcare providers to improve outcomes for Hoosier moms and babies,” Weaver said. “We are grateful to have hospitals across the state support initiatives, such as the Indiana Perinatal Levels of Care and obstetrical emergencies training, that have contributed to improvements in both maternal and infant health.”
For the first time in the program’s history, 100 percent of Indiana’s birthing facilities earned one of two INspire recognitions, reinforcing the progress that has been made to improve upon the key drivers of maternal and infant health.
