The USF Health Fetal Care Center of Tampa Bay offers comprehensive prenatal and fetal care for high risk pregnancies with the most complex fetal diagnoses. Every four and a half minutes, a baby is born with a birth defect in the United States. Learning that your own baby may have a defect creates unimaginable stress and raises many concerns and questions for you and your family. 

Our team of specialized USF Health providers collaborate within a state of the art academic setting bringing together reputable MFM physicians, obstetricians, and pediatric specialists. 

The USF Fetal Care Center offers multidisciplinary care coordination among high-risk obstetricians and many pediatric specialties. A dedicated nurse coordinator offers continuity of care and a distinct point of contact throughout the pregnancy. Navigation through a complex medical system provided by this nurse coordinator helps ease patient anxiety and overcome arising challenges.
