NC c-section rate 2008 - sad, depressing, rediculous...

 31.3% overall
Grace Hospital, Morganton NC - 33.6%
Frye Regional Medical Center, Hickory, NC - 36.2%
Catawba Valley Medical Center, Hickory NC - 23.6%
Mission Memorial, Asheville, NC - 37.1%
Caldwell Memorial Hospital, Lenoir, NC - 26.1%
McDowell Hospital, McDowell, NC - 43.4%

These are my county and surrounding county hospitals. A little scary. I was planning on going to Catawba valley Medical Center with Simon, so I guess that would have been the best choice. But to give Mission a  little credit, because I hear they are very good, they probably get alot of transfers and high risk pregnancies to account for their higher number.
