in Providence, both part of Lifespan and Women & Infants' Hospital of Rhode Island,
in partnership with the New
England Medical Center/Tufts
University in Boston. At each institution, there are a a
large number of specialists
who are experts in the diagnosis of fetal anomalies and the management
of the unborn child. In addition, this collaboration between
two centers allows all of us to share our experience and expertise,
and to give you even more options for treatment.

is a founding member of the North American Fetal Therapy Netwok
(NAFTNet.org),
a voluntary association of medical centers in the United States
and Canada established to help patients, parents and their families
and allow colleagues in the field to collaborate with other fetal
treatment units and participate in clinical research.
