Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Health

Saint Anthony Hospital has added fetal medicine as a service for expectant mothers. This service works to improve pregnancy and delivery for women with high-risk medical conditions, such as hypertension or diabetes, or those at risk for pregnancy complications. Specially trained maternal fetal medicine physicians help educate patients and work with their obstetricians to ensure the best possible outcome.

The hospital has also appointed Patricia A. Heywood, M.D. as the chairperson of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Dr. Heywood earned a medical degree from Loyola University of Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine. She is board certified in maternal fetal medicine and general obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Heywood has published articles in several academic journals.
