Women with high-risk pregnancies are referred to Atlantic Health's Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center for evaluation and treatment. Morristown Memorial is a Level III Regional Perinatal Center and Overlook Hospital is a Level III Intensive Perinatal Center. All beds are equipped with the most sophisticated technology available, including individual fetal monitors with a central monitoring station. Both hospitals also have Neonatal Intensive Care Units to provide advanced care to our smallest patients.

No wonder that more births go smoothly and more babies are born healthy at our hospitals.
