The New York State Department of Health’s Bureau of Women’s Health has designated New York Presbyterian Hospital’s Columbia University Medical Center as a Regional Perinatal Center (RPC).

A Regional Perinatal Center is a hospital that serves a designated geographic region and provides all aspects of obstetrics and neonatal services including those for high-risk mothers and babies. In addition to providing clinical services, an RPC has responsibilities related to affiliated hospitals within that region that address other areas such as education, evaluation, data collection, and quality improvement.


NY State’s Mandate for the RPCs

The overall goal of the RPC is to improve perinatal outcomes by:

  • Promoting access to appropriate levels of quality health care for pregnant women, newborns, and postpartum women.
  • Implementing quality improvement programs within the RPC and among affiliate hospital, including the implementation of the Statewide Perinatal Database System (SPDS).
  • Facilitating regional perinatal forums to support local planning, identification of issues, coordination of services and recommendations for improvements.


NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center: Highlights of Perinatal Services
