High-Risk Pregnancy
We are affiliated with maternal-fetal medicine specialists from Massachusetts General Hospital who care for women with high-risk pregnancies. Patients see these specialists at the Mass General Brigham Healthcare Center in Danvers, and are able to deliver their babies safely at our Birthplace.
Patients who require more advanced care can be transitioned seamlessly to Massachusetts General Hospital as needed. Obstetrics and Gynecology is a collaborative practice of physicians from Salem Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. It is located at 104 Endicott Street in Danvers.
