Experts in Specialized Care

If you experience complications during your pregnancy, you’ll be glad to know that the MetroHealth Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine has the largest, most respected maternal-fetal program in the region. Nobody treats more high-risk pregnancies than we do. And nobody has our diverse range of services and specialties.

For more than three decades, we have been leading the way in the treatment of high-risk pregnancies. We are one of only 12 centers in the country selected to participate in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units research networks. Because of that selection, we continue to be at the forefront of maternal-fetal care.
