The Advanced Fetal Care Center (AFCC) of Children's Hospital Boston was founded in 2000 by director Russell Jennings, MD, with Luanne Nemes, RN, MS, PNP, to treat the fetus with life-threatening congenital anomalies. Since its inception, more than 2,800 pregnant women have been referred to the AFCC for diagnostic studies, counseling, treatment and care when a fetal anomaly is suspected or diagnosed.
Few centers offer the depth and breadth of expertise found at Children's. The AFCC is one of just a handful of comprehensive fetal care centers in the United States, and the only one in New England. Through ground-breaking procedures and a commitment to the best in pediatric care, the center is rewriting what's possible in fetal medicine and surgery with their staff of specialists, representing more than 20 specialty areas.
