A spotlight on our Women’s and Infants’ Health program
Mount Sinai Hospital’s Frances Bloomberg Centre for Women’s and Infants’ Health, has forged a path to become the largest academic centre for women’s health in Canada.
Our multidisciplinary teams specialize in high-risk pregnancy, with two-thirds of the pregnancies we care for each year considered to be high-risk. We invite you to learn more about this specialized area of care that is driving our reputation for excellence in women’s health, high-risk maternal, fetal and neonatal care.
From providing expert care to the most vulnerable hospitalized infants, to developing groundbreaking therapy options for menopausal women, our Women’s and Infants’ Health program is internationally recognized for providing exemplary care and engaging in state-of-the-art research. We are also recognized as a place to learn by our medical students and residents, attracting fellows from across the globe.
