Fetal Assessment Center

Moms-to-be will have access to Loyola’s cutting edge expertise in high-risk pregnancies at the Professional Office Building at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital. A full-service Fetal Assessment Center, established and operated by Loyola University Health System, is scheduled to arrive at Gottlieb in October.

Loyola’s experienced perinatologists, who have advanced maternal-fetal medicine training, work as a team with your doctor to diagnose, treat and monitor conditions that can lead to complications during pregnancy and/or delivery.

Those underlying conditions include:

• Pre-term labor
• Asthma
• Diabetes
• Hypertension or heart disease
• Previous miscarriages
• Lupus
• Cancer
• History of congenital abnormalities
• Chromosomal or congenital abnormalities of the fetus
• Other medical or surgical complications of the pregnancy
  

A wide range of resources is available, which include advanced diagnostics and specialized care, such as high-resolution ultrasounds and medical-therapeutic monitoring of fetuses.

In the past year, Loyola maternal-fetal medicine physicians have participated in 4,300 high-risk obstetrics consultations.

To learn more, talk with your Gottlieb obstetrician. Appointments at Loyola’s Fetal Assessment Center at Gottlieb can be made by calling (888) LUHS-888 or (888) 584-7888.
