Maternal-Fetal Medicine

The Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is part of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baystate Medical Center. The four board-certified perinatologists in the Division provide specialized diagnostic, medical and surgical health care to high-risk pregnant women. In addition, the Division is a resource for physicians practicing within our geographic area including the Pioneer Valley, Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont and portions of Eastern New York State.
