🌎 World Prematurity Day
Honoring Strength. Celebrating Progress. Supporting Every Family.

Today, we pause to honor the incredible strength of premature babies and the families who walk this journey with courage, hope, and resilience. At Valley Perinatal Services, we are humbled to stand beside mothers facing high-risk pregnancies—helping them navigate uncertainty, extend their pregnancies safely, and give their babies the healthiest possible start.

Prematurity touches so many of the families we serve. But every day, we witness the difference that specialized maternal-fetal medicine can make:
✨ buying precious time,
✨ improving outcomes, and
✨ reducing the length and severity of NICU stays.

Behind every early arrival is a story of love, medicine, and miracles—and we are honored to be part of that story.

To the babies who fight so hard, the parents who never lose hope, and the caregivers who pour their hearts into every moment… today, we celebrate you. 💜

Amazing work from our Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist team! This FOX 10 Phoenix story highlights the incredible high-risk pregnancy care at Valley Perinatal Services.

Our patient, Bendu Kiazolu, who had already endured five devastating pregnancy losses, was diagnosed with a rare condition where her immune system was attacking the fetus.

Dr. Ravindu Gunatilake (Dr. G) and the Abrazo Arrowhead NICU team developed a unique and personalized treatment plan to save the pregnancy.

Congratulations to the Kiazolu family on the birth of their healthy baby boy, Benzi, and kudos to Dr. G for this fantastic example of medical dedication and expertise.
