Southwest partners with Legacy Health on maternal fetal medicine services Southwest’s Family Birth Center and Legacy Health’s maternal fetal medicine program are growing to better serve patients and medically fragile newborns in southwest Washington. To support the birthing services at Southwest’s Medical Center campus, Southwest has entered into a new partnership with the maternal fetal medicine specialists at Legacy Health. Maternal fetal medicine specialists are obstetricians who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and care for expectant mothers whose unborn babies may be at high risk for special health problems. Services provided by maternal fetal medicine specialists include maternal and fetal care, monitoring, ultrasound examinations, genetic counseling, diabetes management, and state-of-the-art diagnostic testing. The new agreement supports Southwest’s obstetrical program which in November ’09 added an OB Laborist Service, which provides a dedicated obstetrician in-house 24 hours to support safe and quality labor and delivery care. Both the maternal fetal medicine program and OB Laborist service will support the planned expansion of Southwest’s Holtzman Twins Special Care Nursery. The hospital is adding eight Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit beds to care for medically fragile newborns. The maternal fetal medicine specialists of Legacy Health started providing 24/7 inpatient and outpatient prenatal care and consultation for the Family Birth Center on March 1. Legacy Health specialists will work closely with Southwest Medical Group Neonatology Associates on NICU consults. Legacy physicians who will practice at Southwest as part of the new partnership include the following: Fred H. Coleman, III, MD, Carey Winkler, MD, and John Buckmaster, MD . Other Legacy maternal fetal medicine specialists providing coverage on nights and weekends include Drs. Patty Robertson, Tom Jenkins, and Andy Merrill.
