The primary perinatal center is at Shands Jacksonville (outpatient and inpatient), which is one of 11 designated Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Centers (RPICC) in the State of Florida.

Our perinatal center provides comprehensive obstetric ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis, genetic and perinatal consultation, perinatal HIV prevention, fetal health monitoring and testing, and the resources of an academic medical center.

Our staff includes registered diagnostic medical ultrasonographers (RDMS), a genetic counselor, certified nurse midwives, perinatal nurse coordinator, and nurses.
The physicians in our division provide direct patient care and prenatal diagnosis at Care Center for Women at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center (SJMC), and prenatal diagnosis at UF Southside Women’s Health Specialists. We also supervise the care provided by the residents and certified nurse midwives at the Care Center for Women. We provide consultative services (preconception and prenatal), ultrasound, and genetic counseling to healthcare providers and patients in North Florida and South Georgia – resource for private practitioners, the healthcare providers at the health department clinics (Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns counties), Naval Air Station Jacksonville hospital and Mayport branch clinic.
