Introduction
ICHS is committed to providing high quality, patient-centered prenatal care. Our mission is to partner with pregnant people throughout each step of their pregnancy journey. We are dedicated to delivering care with respect to your cultural background, personal values, and preferred language.
One family medicine team will take care of you prior and during your pregnancy, deliver your baby, and help with your recovery after childbirth. The same ICHS providers will also care for your newborn and as your child grows. For high risk pregnancies, ICHS has several community partners, and will help find the right specialist for you and your baby.
