Volumes and Outcomes
Under the leadership of fetal medicine pioneers, we continually strive to improve the outlook for our unborn patients through integrated care, multidisciplinary collaboration and dedicated research. We monitor and measure our outcomes against the quality metrics of other nationally recognized programs, and we’ re proud of what we’ ve achieved: consistently reporting some of the best outcomes in the nation.
