Middle Tennessee Medical Center is extending the scope of its Maternal-Fetal services with the addition of three Maternal-Fetal medicine physicians to its medical staff.

Tennessee Maternal Fetal Medicine has expanded its practice to MTMC from Baptist Hospital in Nashville.

Tennessee Maternal Fetal Medicine’s physicians Cornelia Graves, MD, Harold Breckenridge Collins, MD and Audrey Kang, MD, specialize in the care of women with high-risk pregnancies. These physicians have completed two to three years of additional formal education and clinical experience within an American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology approved Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Program. Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists have advanced knowledge of the obstetrical, medical, genetic, and surgical complications of pregnancy and their effects on both the mother and fetus.

"These physicians are highly regarded as experts in the field of high risk Maternal-Fetal medicine,” said MTMC President and CEO Gordon B. Ferguson. “With the addition of Tennessee Maternal Fetal Medicine, we are extending the local availability of care to mothers experiencing high risk pregnancies."
