High-Risk Perinatal Program
Our High-Risk Perinatal Program partners with physicians throughout Los Angeles County and beyond to coordinate high-risk perinatal care for those who need it. Together, we work to provide the highest level of specialized care and deliver treatment plans that help mothers, babies and families.
We welcome consultations, transfers and transports of pregnant mothers and infants with high-risk conditions. We are particularly equipped to provide comprehensive, holistic care for mothers and babies with complex diagnoses.
