High-risk pregnancy care

The Perinatal Center at Sunrise specializes in caring for expectant women with high-risk pregnancies. We combine leading technology with family-centered care to provide comprehensive high-risk care for you and your baby.

Our team consists of highly skilled obstetricians, perinatologists (OB/GYNs who specialize in high-risk pregnancies) and nurses who are all fetal heart rate certified through the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, an accredited organization providing advanced nursing education.

Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)

Our Level III NICU cares for babies born before 32 weeks, who have a low birth weight, and those who have medical conditions or need surgery. Our neonatologists and specialists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to care for our tiniest patients.

If your baby needs to be transported to Sunrise Children's Hospital for a higher level of care, our NICU transport team is available at a moment's notice.

Prenatal care program

Early and continuous prenatal care is important to the future health of you and your baby. Prenatal care can lower your risk of pregnancy complications, which is why women need to get high-quality care both before and during pregnancy.

Through the Sunny Babies program at Sunrise Children's Hospital, pregnant women are encouraged to seek early prenatal care, beginning in the first trimester. Sunny Babies helps you:

• Find a physician so you can get care as early as possible
• Apply for Medicaid to provide insurance for you and your baby
• Register for free childbirth classes at any Sunrise facility
• Pre-register your delivery at the Sunrise Hospital of your choice

We offer the Sunny Babies program at various locations. To make an appointment at your nearest location, please call (702) 961-9140.
