MacDonald Women’s Hospital , along with Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, is among the nation’s leaders in the management of high-risk pregnancies and the care of newborns with special healthcare needs. Together they care for more complex pregnancies and at-risk newborns than any other facility in the area, thanks to:
- Special Obstetric Clinics, maternal-fetal specialists, nurses and support personnel trained in management and counseling of high-risk pregnancies
- Membership in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network – 14 specialized centers selected by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
- Antepartum (pre-birth) Unit providing 24-hour care to high-risk mothers who require hospitalization
If you are being transferred, it is most likely because your doctor feels that you and your baby need more intense, specialized care than your current hospital may be able to provide.
Both MacDonald Women’s Hospital and nearby Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital (also part of University Hospitals of Cleveland) have received the highest possible designation for medical facilities by the State of Ohio. This means that they are medically staffed and equipped to handle virtually any complication that you or your baby may encounter before, during or following birth.
