Program
Sinai Hospital provides the community with
a full-service obstetrical and gynecological
care program, including all phases of family
planning, genetic counseling, and prenatal,
delivery and postpartum care.
In addition, Sinai Hospital has a contractual
relationship with the Wayne County
Maternal and Infant Care Program to
provide prenatal, delivery and postpartum
care to patients who are on Wayne County
general assistance. Services to these patients
are also provided through the Shiffman
Clinic.
The Hospital is an integral part of the
Quadrangle perinatal care program and
shares in the Quadrangle pediatric teaching
program in neonatal intensive care. Sinai
houses a "level II" intermediate special care
nursery, which is staffed around the clock
with medical personnel trained in neonatal
intensive care. Sinai is equipped to handle
"high risk" deliveries where the mother

the laser research in gynecological surgery.
