Complications and High-Risk Pregnancy
The Maternal-Fetal Medicine service, comprised of trained and certified specialists, is available to provide prenatal care and delivery for any patient with a high-risk pregnancy. Complications addressed by this service generally fall into one of three categories: Maternal, Fetal or Obstetric.

Prenatal Diagnosis Center (PDC)
For outpatients, the Prenatal Diagnosis Center offers sophisticated diagnostic evaluation for pregnant women and their fetuses. Diagnostic services are provided to regional hospitals by the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and consultations can be arranged through a patient’s private physician as needed. Genetic counseling is also available as both a pre-conception and high-risk resource.
