ORMC open house

The eastern Permian Basin now has a bit of a closer location for high-risk pregnancy care now that Odessa Regional Medical Center has opened its Midland Regional Perinatal Center.

The center held an open house Monday to detail the specialized work of the center, including looking for genetic problems in the fairly early stages of pregnancy to catch potential disorders.

"The main gist is this will make things more convenient for those in the eastern Basin while the center expands invasive fetal procedures while still in the womb," ORMC Community Relations Director Jacqui Gore said.

SERVICES

Main services of the perinatal center:

>> Consultations.

>> Genetic services.
