This year ForbesWoman inaugurates its first annual list of the Best Cities for Working Mothers. To calculate the rankings, they started with the 50 largest cities in the U.S. and the premise that different mothers have different needs. So while it’s safe to say that all moms want a secure and protected place for their children to live in, first-rate medical care and excellent schools, if they’re running a business or earning a paycheck, there are other important considerations. The potential for a relatively high income, job opportunities and family-friend cost of living are obvious ones. But childcare is way up there too. They took a slightly unusual approach to evaluating a city’s health care quality. They realized a mom wants options when it comes to pediatricians; trust and a good rapport are just as important as competence, after all. But they also included information from Dartmouth Atlas, which tracks the quality of health care across the U.S
