A much-appreciated program at Inova Fairfax Hospital Women's Center to support families through complicated pregnancies
Pregnancy is usually a joyous time for families. But for women diagnosed with a serious complication during pregnancy, it can be a time of anxious worry, uncertainty and unfortunately, sometimes grieving. In these challenging situations, the Perinatal Concerns Program offers families the encouragement and emotional support they need.
