- I initiated the Building Bridges in Perinatal Care program with Dr. Valerie Elberson and Dr. Heather Link to enhance coordinated care across the perinatal and neonatal continuum in Western New York. A recent successful quintuplet delivery in 2025 stands as a testament to the program’s effectiveness. Our goal is to expand Building Bridges into a multidisciplinary initiative that integrates multiple specialties to improve care for high-risk newborn deliveries throughout Western New York. For context, Building Bridges in Perinatal Care aims to provide coordinated, evidence-based care for expectant mothers and their infants by facilitating communication and planning between maternal-fetal medicine and neonatal care teams prior to delivery, and by supporting seamless transition through delivery and post-delivery care. https://medicine.buffalo.edu/departments/pediatrics/divisions/neonatology/building-bridges-perinatal-care.html; Building Bridges in Perinatal Care (2024–present)
