WELCOME

The mission of the CHLA-USC Institute for Maternal - Fetal Health (IMFH) is to improve the health of women and their children through comprehensive, integrated clinical care, public and individual education, scientific research and premier training of medical and allied health professionals. This is achieved through the Institute's unique alliance of medical leaders from Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. By combining the expertise of leading medical specialists, we are able to provide mother and child with the most advanced care available.

In the past, women with complicated pregnancies faced fragmented services and often have not known where to turn for help. The IMFH has created a new reality by offering access to the most advanced clinical care, state-of-the-art medical technology, social and psychological support services, teaching and research at a single site. The CHLA-USC Institute for Maternal-Fetal Health is the only facility of its kind in Southern California and one of only a few nationwide.

Above all, we tailor our services to each individual who turns to us for help. Read More »
