Medical/Ethical Review Board

At the St. Louis Fetal Care Institute, we always make sure that your health, safety and comfort come first. We have a diverse team that meets regularly to discuss the scientific and ethical issues related fetal intervention.  The team was designed to ensure that the St. Louis Fetal Care Institute aligns with the mission and values of SSM Health Care.
