Our Family Medicine physicians work collaboratively with the full hospital childbirth team and have access to all the advanced technology and capabilities offered by U-M Health, Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital and Mott Children’s Hospital. When you come to the hospital to deliver, you are cared for by the same integrated nursing team that provides care for all of our childbirth patients, including midwife and OBGYN patients. Whenever possible, your personal Family Medicine physician will be notified upon your admission to the hospital for labor and will attend your delivery.

Should high-risk pregnancy care be required, your family medicine physician will work hand-in-hand with our maternal-fetal medicine specialists to provide care unparalleled by any other center in the region. Some of the most common high-risk conditions, including maternal age over 35, maternal depression, gestational hypertension and maternal obesity, are managed by family physicians in close communication with maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Once your baby is born, we also offer ready access to pediatric specialty services at Mott Children’s Hospital, if needed.

Our Family Physicians are trained to care for patients from birth and throughout their life, providing complete, thorough, and compassionate care, based on the best available evidence, to family members of all ages. Many of our physicians care for several generations of family members.
