The clinic team includes specialists in high risk or complicated pregnancy (perinatologists), diabetes, rheumatology, hematology, nutrition, breastfeeding, social work, and physiotherapy. Services are provided for women experiencing a normal pregnancy through the Family Practice Maternity Service, as well as those women who may be referred with a complication that needs further investigation and/or treatment.
