It's Different Here
It’s part of our name. It’s part of our culture. We treat families from across the nation and around the world. Birth defects affect 1 in 33 babies born. They cause 1 in every 5 deaths in the first year of life. And we are on a mission to improve outcomes for as many families as we can.
The Fetal Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital is one of a kind. It’s a place where world-class clinical care and experts from nationally ranked programs are here to care for you and your unborn baby.
