Support for unique fellowship program in Complex Obstetric Surgery helps advance leading-edge care for pregnant patients at the Frances Bloomberg Centre for Women’s and Infants’ Health.

From treating cancer to heart disease, obesity, neurological disorders or rare blood conditions, Mount Sinai’s maternal-fetal medicine specialists are experts in navigating the complexities of treatment when the health of pregnant patients and their babies hang in the balance.

Supporting the leadership of the maternal-fetal medicine team, the newly established Canerector Foundation Research Chair in Medical Disorders in Pregnancy will advance research, education, and patient care in these and other pregnancy complications. Dr. John Kingdom, the inaugural chairholder, specializes in complications associated with the placenta.

Supported by many grateful patients, the Placenta Clinic provides expert assessment, monitoring and delivery planning to minimize pre-term birth and the life-threatening risks associated with fetal growth restriction, high blood pressure in pregnancy (pre-eclampsia) or premature placental separation (abruption).

Some placental conditions require expert surgical management during Caesarian section delivery, to restrict life-threatening blood loss or other complications. A generous contribution from Jordan Prokopy and Matthew Killi supports a unique Fellowship program in Complex Obstetric Surgery, which is training the next generation of experts from across Canada and around the world in this important and growing field.
