About the 17OHP Study Sponsors and Partners:
Since 1979, Pediatrix has evolved from a small
group practice into a national physician group that specializes in
both neonatal and maternal-fetal services. Today, Pediatrix employs
more than 630 neonatologists and maternal-fetal physician sub
specialists, as well as pediatric sub specialists, advanced
practitioners and other clinical professionals.
Pediatrix created the Pediatrix-Obstetrix Center
for Research and Education so that in sharing new advances and
knowledge among physicians and advanced practitioners, they will have
the opportunity to discover, better understand and teach health care
practices that improve the lives of mothers, children and their
families. In the long term, Pediatrix believes the Center will be
recognized as the site of choice for clinical research involving
newborns and women with complicated pregnancies. Obstetrix Medical
Group, a Pediatrix Medical Group subsidiary, is a national group of
maternal-fetal physicians who daily work with and understand the
special needs involved when caring for at-risk patients.
