Women who are pregnant and experience complications often require special
attention and need rapid medical care during their pregnancy. Over 150
high-risk pregnant women are transferred safely and quickly to Pomona
Valley Hospital Medical Center each year. They receive the most advanced

multidisciplinary team is ready to respond and deploy within 30 minutes
of accepting the request.
Our Maternal-Fetal Transport Team includes: Maternal-Fetal Medicine Physicians,
Obstetricians, Physician sub-specialists, Registered Nurses and Respiratory
Therapists. Our team understands the benefits of in-utero transports for
