How are people choosing the hospital to give birth? Isn’t it by your obgyns privileges?

| A lot of people pick the hospital first and then see an OB that has privileges there. |

| My gyn stopped practicing as an OB. So when I picked an OB, I considered where doctors had privileges. |

| Picked the hospital and then obgyn. Very important in my case as there were complications and I had very fast labor. Would not have made it in time to any other hospital than the one I chose, and my obgyn group has someone at that hospital 24/7 that was familiar with my file. |

Jennifer Keller is great there. It is an inner city hospital though so you’ll have to potentially deal with associated issues. Sibley is the rich person hospital. |
