Safety is our top priority for you and your baby’s care.

Should your baby arrive early or require additional care after delivery our team consults with our University of Minnesota Neonatologists team.  If your baby should need more advanced care, he or she can be transported to the nearest appropriate M Health Fairview Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for care. Our health system includes a Level IV NICU, the highest level of NICU care, located at Masonic Children’s Hospital. Your baby maybe transferred to Masonic, if higher NICU care is required.

If your pregnancy is medically complicated, you are expecting multiple babies, or require a closer oversight during and after pregnancy, M Health Fairview has Maternal Fetal Medicine Centers located in Minneapolis, Edina, Maplewood, and Burnsville. Our providers specialize in high risk, medically complicated pregnancies, and partner with your primary prenatal care provider to create treatment plans to keep you and your baby safe before, during, and after delivery.

We look forward to providing an exceptional experience during your unique birth as you welcome your newest family member.
