WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.
About Us
The Perinatal Loss Office at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia
provides support to families experiencing the death of a baby and the loss of a pregnancy
due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, premature delivery, neonatal death,
or termination due to problems with the baby or the mother.
We also work with families who receive, during their pregnancies,
life-limiting diagnoses for their babies, regardless of whether they
terminate the pregnancy or carry the pregnancy to full-term.
We provide support and assistance during the decision-making process,
the remainder of the pregnancy, labor, delivery or surgery, developing a Birth Plan,
creating memories with the baby before and after birth, taking the baby home (if applicable),
setting up hospice care (if applicable), facing the death of the baby,
and follow-up support for as long as families desire it.
Our team consists of nurses, physicians, chaplains, bereaved parent volunteers,
and other hospital staff who have a special interest and training in dealing with
the unique and often complicated emotional, physical, social, cultural, religious,
and spiritual issues with these types of losses.
