I picked these hospitals out of the California List, because they are the ones my doula clients go to.
They do not surprise me. The hospital I recommend to all my moms is Saddleback. It is the most NCB friendly and have policies that are set in place to help it have low interventions. (for example: OBs have to fill out a surgical report if they do an episiotomy)
| Hospital | %C/S | Total Births |
| Hoag | 37% | 5436 |
| Irvine Reg | 35.50% | 1077 |
| St. Joseph | 34.30% | 5010 |
| Mission | 32.60% | 3320 |
| Kaiser | 31.70% | 1215 |
| Saddleback | 30.10% | 2888 |
