Mission Bay Labor and Delivery Unit continues to provide care for a diverse and complex patient population and remains a major referral center for maternal and fetal/neonatal care. One of our major challenges has been the amount of time the unit has been on divert for various reasons. It is a unit-wide priority to decrease the number of hours the unit spends on divert and the number of patients that are diverted away from UCSF.
