"The Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit represents a new paradigm for care of pregnant women whose fetus has been prenatally diagnosed with a birth defect," said Steven M.

"This state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind unit will provide the most personalized, comprehensive care for these families before, during and after birth."
The new eight-bed labor and delivery unit will allow Children's Hospital's experts in fetal medicine and surgery to provide seamless, comprehensive care from prenatal diagnosis, delivery, and necessary interventions through postnatal follow-up.
