Fetal care across the Chicago area

At Advocate Children’s Hospital’s Center for Fetal Care, we aim to provide the best possible beginning for you and your baby. Through our expert treatments for babies still in the womb, we safely treat conditions once considered life-threatening or fixable only after birth.

We empower you and your family to understand your neonatal health concerns and your baby’s condition so you can make decisions that match your goals for your baby’s care.
