At Sunset Park Family Health Center at NYU Langone—Second Avenue, our doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurse midwives provide obstetric, gynecologic, and pediatric care.

Healthcare for Women

Our team provides the care women need before, during, and after pregnancy. We also address all of your gynecologic healthcare needs, including contraception care and menopause management.

Prenatal Care

We offer preconception and nutrition counseling as well as disease screening to put you on the road toward a healthy pregnancy. Free pregnancy testing is available seven days a week, and no appointment is necessary.

During pregnancy, we offer routine ultrasound exams and prenatal classes onsite. We provide genetic counseling and testing, including amniocentesis to test for conditions such as Down syndrome and spina bifida. Our maternal–fetal specialists provide advanced care if your pregnancy is considered high risk due to conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or preterm labor.

We use the CenteringPregnancy group model of prenatal care. Through shared medical appointments, we bring women together to share their experiences, learn from each other, and form a support network.

Our services go beyond routine pregnancy care. We also offer assistance with social support services and can connect you with resources to help with housing, food, and financial assistance. Our behavioral health counselors can help with any emotional or psychological challenges you are experiencing, including anxiety and postpartum depression.
