If you are pregnant now or planning your pregnancy, our team can help you at every step of the way. Highland Family Medicine provides comprehensive prenatal care services, caring for you throughout your pregnancy, during your delivery at Highland Hospital, and after you are back home. You will be cared for by a small group of trained family medicine clinicians who will also attend your labor and delivery at Highland Hospital. Our team includes surgically trained family physicians who can offer cesarean delivery if needed. When your baby comes home, Highland Family Medicine can continue to care for them in the context of your family.
Highland Family Medicine is proud to offer Centering Pregnancy® as an option for your prenatal care. Coordinating groups of 6-8 patients and their support people who meet regularly to learn and receive their pregnancy care together. Providing care in this way has been shown to reduce preterm deliveries, low birth weight babies, and improve patient satisfaction with their birth experience. Members of the group form lasting friendships and serve as resources for each other.
