The maternal-fetal medicine program within the Aurora Health Care System delivers high-risk maternal/newborn care in five regions of the state through a network of Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists and nearly 120 OB/GYN's. OB services are provided in 10 hospitals within the system with nearly 11,000 deliveries. Two Level III facilities offer comprehensive perinatal and neonatal services and a third facility offers some level III services. Current initiatives are in place to realize the goal of having three tertiary maternal centers in the near future.

As a member of the maternal medicine team, your role will be primarily consultative with a delivery service limited to transports and strictly high-risk. Each MFM physician is based at one of three tertiary centers within the system. In addition, two days per week are devoted to providing outreach to regional acute care facilities within the respective regions. Call coverage is shared with the other MFM Specialists. Major initiatives in the areas of quality assurance and telemedicine offer additional exciting opportunities for leadership and professional growth.

Our two Level III facilities offer comprehensive perinatal and neonatal services: The Aurora Women's Pavilion, http://www.aurorahealthcare.org/services/awp/index.asp and Aurora Sinai Medical Center, both located in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Services within these facilities include Perinatal Assessment Centers, Genetic Counseling Centers, Level III Neonatal ICU's, high-risk inpatient obstetrical services and high risk care coordination. Both facilities service a seven-county draw area encompassing a population of nearly 2 million. Aurora is also affiliated with the University of Wisconsin Medical School through its Milwaukee clinical campus offering residency and fellowship programs in a variety of specialties including OB/GYN. Aurora Bay Care Medical Center in Green Bay houses a Level III NICU and is actively engaged in developing its perinatal capabilities.
