Stockton prenatal clinic cuts the ribbon at new location

The new location for the Stockton Prenatal Diagnosis Clinic is officially up and running. Physicians, clinical staff, and other team members celebrated Monday with a special ribbon cutting ceremony. Leaders attended to recognize employees for their diligent teamwork.

The new clinic is located at 5757 Pacific Ave., Suite A-132 in Stockton. With ample parking, it's tucked in a shopping center with restaurants, boutiques, and a sunny courtyard.

The clinic provides services for expecting mothers with high-risk pregnancies, including comprehensive counseling, genetic screening, and diagnostic testing for fetal anomalies. The newly expanded footprint will triple patient capacity compared to the former clinic location and enables the Fetal Echo team to increase patient access from two days per month to weekly, on Mondays. 

The prenatal clinic expansion is three years in the making. It involved tremendous, dedicated work and vision from a multidisciplinary team."—Ann Tompkins, Director of Ambulatory Operations, Women’s and Children’s Services

“The prenatal clinic expansion is three years in the making. It involved tremendous, dedicated work and vision from a multidisciplinary team,” said Ann Tompkins, director of Ambulatory Operations, Women’s and Children’s Services. “I’m only three months into my role, so I can’t take any credit, but I feel incredibly privileged to applaud the clinical team that is expanding access and exceptional care to our patient community in Stockton.”

Herman Hedriana, M.D., professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology and director of the Division of Maternal Medicine, performed the honors of the ribbon cutting, signaling a fresh start for the clinical team at the new location.

In the new year, the clinic plans to host an open house for the Stockton community to engage with UC Davis Health providers.
