Perinatal care at Penn Medicine Princeton Health once again received the Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission, one of the nation’s best-known and respected healthcare accrediting entities. Perinatal Care Certification — an advanced designation first received by Princeton Health in 2018 — reflects not only the state-of-the-art facilities and maternity care at Princeton Medical Center (PMC), but the advanced prenatal diagnostics and treatment available on the hospital campus, as well as comprehensive education programs and support services.

About 2,000 babies are born at PMC each year. They and their parents benefit from a complete range of services, including:

  • Expert care for high-risk pregnancies through Penn Maternal Fetal Medicine Plainsboro
  • A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staffed by board certified neonatologists from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
  • Comprehensive education programs and support services from pregnancy through postpartum adjustment


Princeton Health is one of seven healthcare organizations in New Jersey and 59 nationwide to earn Perinatal Care Certification.
