The Fourth Trimester Newborn & Maternal Care Model

● We provide home visits in the first two months postpartum, with the option to add on virtual visits as needed. During these visits, both pediatric and maternal care is provided.

● We provide standard well newborn checks and acute pediatric visits for the infant for the first two months of life. We perform well child visits, follow ups and treat all manner of health challenges. We refer out for testing and specialists as needed. The families transfer care to their long term pediatrician starting at the two month well visit. In advance of this visit, we coordinate with the pediatrician that they will be moving to and ensure a smooth transition of care.

● For the maternal care, our physician provides auxiliary care, as patients continue to follow up with their OB/GYN team as scheduled. We begin each home visit checking on basic maternal wellness, and either address or refer the issue to the birthing team as appropriate.

● We offer group visits to bring fellow families to share their experiences and check in with the provider as a community.
