Inside the Fetal Health Center

A birth experience tailored to you

Every birth experience is unique. We want yours to include as many of the elements and amenities that are important to you, even if your baby needs a higher level of care during and after delivery. 

The Fetal Health Center at Children’s Mercy combines the very best possible medical care with personalized, family-centered care throughout your birth experience.
