Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Advanced Care for High Risk Pregnancies

Patients who need advanced care for high risk pregnancies can now receive that care at Anna Jaques, where previously they were traveling into downtown Boston or Route 128.

A Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Maternal and Fetal Medicine specialist comes to Anna Jaques three times a month to provide high risk ultrasound to the patients of obstetricians at Women’s Health Care and assist them in treating their at risk patients.

Access to this high quality, specialized medicine reduces stress on patients who no longer need to travel substantial, inconvenient distances for specialty care. It also enhances what the Women’s Health Care obstetricians are able to provide their patients in a very integrated way.
