Coordinated maternal and neonatal care for complex pregnancies
The Fetal and Neonatal Care Coordination (FNCC) Clinic is a collaborative outpatient clinic led by Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) in partnership with Neonatology at Nebraska Medicine.
The clinic supports pregnant patients with fetal, maternal or neonatal conditions that may require advanced neonatal care, coordinated delivery planning or NICU involvement after birth.
Patients are evaluated jointly by maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology teams to support prenatal counseling, delivery planning and coordinated neonatal care.
