Is McCormick still a missionary hospital?

Yes — it is owned and operated by the Church of Christ in Thailand as a not-for-profit. It was founded in 1888 by American Presbyterian missionary Dr Edwin McCormick and is one of the oldest hospitals in northern Thailand.

Is it cheaper than Chiang Mai Ram?

Generally yes — as a not-for-profit, fees are clearly below the for-profit private hospitals while still offering English service. Many long-term expats use McCormick precisely for that reason.

Is it good for childbirth?

Yes, particularly for low-risk pregnancies. It has a long-standing maternity reputation and is popular with the Chiang Mai missionary and teaching community for affordable delivery packages.
