Hi I'm Kim Mangarelli and I'm a Fetal Care
Coordinator at the Fetal Concerns Center here
at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
I'd like to take you on a tour of our clinic
so you can learn more about the features and
services offered at our center.
The only program of its type in Wisconsin,
the Fetal Concerns Center specializes in the
diagnosis, treatment and comprehensive care
coordination for women with high-risk pregnancies
and fetal diagnoses.
We care for more than 600 families every year.
Our clinic is located on the second floor
of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, right
across the hall from the Herma Heart Institute.
We're located under the same roof as our 70
bed, level four NICU and Froedtert's high
risk Birth Center, which is unique and beneficial.
With all of these services in one hospital,
families are able to get fetal and newborn
care they need in one place without traveling.
In addition, this allows babies to be transported
to the NICU faster after birth, and the whole
family can be together in one location after
delivery.
Our new clinic has six exam rooms for our
patients.
All exams, ultrasounds and fetal echocardiograms
will take place within the exam rooms.
We also have two rooms dedicated to non-stress
testing if moms and babies require additional
fetal heartbeat monitoring.
We have five dedicated family consult rooms,
where our providers and nurses can meet face-to-face
with families to discuss their diagnosis and
care plan.
These consult rooms provide private space
for our care coordinators to help guide learning
and decision making.
The Care Coordinator is a consistent support
person that partners with families throughout
their pregnancy journey in our center.
We also have a family nourishment area, which
is available for all families to use during
their appointments.
Overall, the Fetal Concerns Center clinic
provides increase space and incorporates many
features and design concepts to provide more
streamlined efficient care for our patients,
as well as to make their experience more comfortable.
Our goal is to provide the highest level of
care possible to the moms and babies we care
for.
I hope you found this tour helpful.
