The Center for Fetal and Maternal Health cares for fetal patients with many different conditions and needs, including those that:

Require careful monitoring, follow-up, and possibly even specialized treatment before birth
Require neonatal intensive care immediately after birth due to complex problems, surgery or other medical needs
Require an early delivery because of an urgent or worsening problem
Do not require intensive care immediately after delivery, but will need specialty care and follow-up as an outpatient
