Women and Infants Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis, Indiana, delivers advanced maternal and fetal care, including high-risk pregnancy care and 24/7 emergency care. Women and Infants Hospital has Indiana’s highest designation as one of only two Level IV perinatal centers in Indiana.

At Ascension St. Vincent, we keep moms and babies together. We are the first hospital in Indiana to provide couplet care – offering postpartum mom and NICU baby a room together, known as couplet care.
Women and Infants Hospital is a destination for specialty care – including high risk pregnancy care, women’s health, pediatric specialty services and maternity services. You and your family are connected to the advanced specialty care, including:

Your MFM specialist listens to understand you and your preferences and concerns and collaborates with you and your OB-GYN as a team. We connect the dots for moms who have received a high-risk pregnancy diagnosis and deliver support at every step.
