We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
Wayne State University and Hutzel Women’s Hospital are home to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Perinatology Research Branch (PRB).
The PRB’s mission is to conduct clinical and basic research in perinatal medicine and related disciplines with the goal of developing novel diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive strategies to reduce adverse pregnancy outcome, infant mortality and handicap. The PRB also provides research training for physicians, scientists and other health care professionals whose aim is to improve the health care of mothers and their children.
Led by Roberto Romero, M.D., Chief of the Perinatology Research Branch and Program Director for Obstetrics and Perinatology at the NIH, the PRB is making significant contributions to the field of Maternal Fetal Medicine. Romero's team recently found variations in the DNA of pregnant women and fetuses fighting infection associated with an increased risk of premature birth. The study may eventually lead to new ways of identifying women at risk of pre-term delivery and specialized care to help delay birth.
Hutzel is also home to the PRB’s Center for Advanced Obstetrical Care and Research (CAOCR) — a state-of-the-art facility that utilizes the most advanced ultrasound and surveillance techniques. The Center evaluates high-risk pregnancy conditions by conducting ongoing research and providing specialized patient care. Hutzel patients can receive prenatal care and participate in research at the CAOCR. Physician referrals can be made through the patient appointment line at (313) 577-8832.
