Welcome to the Center for Maternal & Child Health

The Center is a collaboration of efforts by members of SUNY
Upstate Medical University team aimed at using education,
research, and patient care to improve the outcome of pregnancy.

What efforts are underway?

Education and research efforts are reflected in our Central New York Regional Perinatal Program and Perinatal Data System.

Patient Care Efforts are reflected in two clinical models, the Regional Perinatal Center activities for high risk perinatal care and the Maternal Child Health Center for low risk perinatal care.

The focus of these efforts is to
provide risk appropriate care which at
the same time honors and maximizes:

Intrinsic Naturalness of the Reproductive/Parenting Process
Biological Continuity of the Fetus Newborn, Infant
Mutually Beneficial Relationship of the Mother-Fetus/Mother-Child
Value of the Father in Achieving Long Term Optimal Family Health
