Stony Brook Medicine
At Stony Brook, you’re in good hands. In partnership with the Division of Maternal-Fetal-Medicine, Stony Brook Children’s Hospital is a New York State-designated regional perinatal center.
Whether you’re facing complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure, are pregnant with multiples or have developed an unexpected problem during your pregnancy that places you at higher risk, our expert team offers unparalleled care to ensure the very best outcomes for you and your baby.
Comprehensive, Collaborative Care
Our Comprehensive Fetal Care Program (CFCP) brings together experts in maternal-fetal medicine, neonatology, pediatric surgery, cardiology, genetics and more. These specialists meet regularly to create personalized care plans for each expectant mom and their baby. Families benefit from a single, coordinated team approach that guides you from prenatal care through delivery and beyond.
If your baby needs the support of our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), daily family-centered rounds include you in care discussions and decisions — keeping you informed, involved and cared for medically and emotionally every step of the way.
Seamless Transitions, Advanced Care
Sometimes even a low-risk pregnancy can become high-risk without warning. With 46 private NICU rooms and specialized equipment to handle emergencies, Stony Brook is prepared to meet all your needs. Our teams ensure a seamless transition to higher levels of care whenever needed, all under one roof.
Innovation That Saves Lives
Innovations in our NICU are helping fragile newborns thrive — and giving parents comfort, connection and peace of mind.
• Bubble CPAP Technology: A gentler, less invasive way to support babies’ breathing without intubation or lung injury.
• Rapid Genomic Sequencing: A fast genetic test delivers answers about baby’s health within 5 to 7 days for those with a suspected genetic disorder.
• Coming in July 2026: A new 24/7 NICU video monitoring system, allowing parents to see their babies anytime, from anywhere.
Parents and Babies First
Navigating a high-risk pregnancy can be overwhelming. At Stony Brook, our teams ensure seamless care — where every provider and parent understand the plan and works toward the same goal. Every parent has direct access to their care team, and plays an active role in their baby’s journey from day one.
Through our comprehensive, collaborative and family-centered approach, we’re devoted to one goal: the best outcomes for mothers, babies and families.
