Making the Biggest Difference in the Tiniest of Lives

The Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Center (FDTC) offers families comprehensive fetal diagnosis and treatment. Using a family centered approach, a multi-disciplinary group of physicians and nurses provide expertise and continuity of care for a pregnant mother carrying a fetus with a birth defect. Our experienced and compassionate team will provide coordinated care for mother, baby and family.

The FDTC builds on a long-standing collaboration between the University of Michigan Women's Hospital and Mott Children's Hospital and established prenatal programs including the Perinatal Assessment Center and the Prenatal Heart Program. Having the Women's and Children's Hospital under one roof has allowed us to provide care for high-risk pregnant mothers, their unborn babies, and transition care seamlessly after birth to our Level IV NICU and world-class pediatric subspecialists.

Our team consists of physicians and nurses from maternal fetal medicine, pediatric and fetal surgery, maternal and pediatric anesthesiology, radiology and pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties. As a multi-disciplinary group, we work together to manage high-risk pregnancies, optimize fetal well being, educate and support families, and provide hope to the tiniest of patients.
