Fetal Diagnostic Center

On August 1, 2018, the Fetal Diagnostic Center moved the University Health Partners (UHP) maternal fetal medicine physicians’ high-risk OB clinic practice into the Fetal Diagnostic Center at Kapiolani Medical Center.

This new collaboration will enhance services to our community by providing comprehensive clinic visits and care coordination for pregnant women with medical and obstetrical complications while optimizing neonatal outcomes.
