Hospital VBACs in Pennsylvania

I was trying to figure out the VBAC success rate of various area hospitals, but I don’t have enough information on the reports that were published to get that number. However, what I can tell you is how many VBACs occurred at each hospital. You can find this information here, too, if you’re looking for a hospital not listed.

NOTE: The percentages listed are NOT VBAC success rates – they are ONLY what percent of births are VBACs.
