Choosing the place where you will welcome your baby into the world is a big decision! One piece of data that can be helpful in making that decision is finding out the Cesarean rate of the hospitals in your area. As a professional doula and birth photographer here in Jacksonville, I love helping my clients gather all of the information they need!

I’ll keep this short and sweet…scroll down to see most recent (2019) C-section rates of all of the hospitals in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park, Middleburg, and St. Augustine, Florida.

All of this data is readily available at FloridaHealthFinder.gov, if you’d like to check it out yourself!
