Norton Children’s Maternal – Fetal Medicine – Perinatal Center – St. Matthews

Norton Children’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine – Perinatal Center is located in St. Matthews on the sixth floor of Norton Medical Plaza 3 – St. Matthews, on the Norton Healthcare – St. Matthews campus. 

Parking for Norton Medical Plaza 3 – St. Matthews is located at Entrance 4 from Dutchmans Lane, near the intersection with Browns Lane. Patient drop-off and valet parking are available. TARC routes 19 and 23 serve the Norton Healthcare – St. Matthews campus, which includes Norton Women’s & Children’s Hospital.

The Norton Children’s Perinatal Center provides collaborative care from the beginning of a high-risk pregnancy diagnosis to the follow-up care of a newborn, all at the same location.

Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists, obstetricians, neonatologists, nurse practitioners, sonographers and diabetes educators practice in the same offices. That means many women with high-risk pregnancies — especially those who travel hundreds of miles for care — can consolidate their appointments.

Our network of referral centers across the region provides convenient access to the Norton Children’s Perinatal Center team. Your physician will refer you to the Norton Children’s Perinatal Center if you need the extra level of care.
