Advanced Care for High-Risk Pregnancies
At Anna Jaques Hospital, we provide expectant parents with high quality, specialized prenatal care close to home.
We partner with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) to bring a maternal-fetal medicine specialist to Newburyport three times a month. This specialist partners with obstetricians at Women’s Health Care to give you and your baby the highest level of care.
Our maternal fetal medicine doctor provides advanced services, such as:
- Counseling for complex and high-risk conditions
- First trimester screening
- Genetic testing
- Targeted level II ultrasound
By offering treatment locally, we hope to reduce the stress you would have by traveling for care. Our specialist is board certified in obstetrics, gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine. If you need more advanced services, we seamlessly connect you to the BIDMC academic medical center.
