Pregnancy or Infant Loss Resources
We offer all Frederick Health patients, their families, and members of the community information and resources to provide guidance through the grieving process surrounding infant and pregnancy loss.
Our Services:
We support patients who have a known fetal demise, life limiting diagnosis, infant death, miscarriage, or other unfortunate events. Our support encompasses what each patient and their family needs and guide them through the process. We’ll help with interaction with the baby once he or she passes, start the grieving process, and ensure you have follow up support once leaving.
We have a close relationship with Sweet Grace Ministries who provide grief and loss supplies, support systems, and after care through a non-profit organization.
For more information contact our Prenatal Loss Coordinator, Elena Griffis, at egriffis@frederick.health or call 240-815-0708
