Materna Health to Open NYC's First Early Pregnancy Care Center

NEW YORK - Rezul -- New York, NY — This fall, a former CFO of a healthcare-focused investment bank, a certified nurse midwife, and a perinatologist will open Materna Health in New York City, the first dedicated early pregnancy center designed to provide timely, compassionate care and keep pregnancy out of Emergency Departments.

"After going through pregnancy, I was shocked by how little support existed," said Kristen Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of Materna. "At six weeks, I experienced spotting and was sent to the ER before I had even met my OB-GYN. I was dismissed, misguided, and terrified. That moment revealed just how broken our system is when it comes to early pregnancy care. I kept asking: Where do women go when complications arise before their first OB appointment? Why is no one talking about this window of time?"

What began as personal frustration became a mission when Williams met Dr. Yaakov Abdelhak, a high-risk perinatologist (MFM), and Kristin Mallon, a certified nurse midwife. Both confirmed what Williams had experienced firsthand: there is a critical gap in care during the earliest weeks of pregnancy. Together, they began building a team of OB/GYNs, emergency department physicians and expert nursing staff focused on real solutions for real symptoms in women's health.

"Too often, women are sent to the ER or told to 'wait it out,'" said Williams. "Materna was created by those who've lived it, treated it, and decided to change it."

The practice's mission is to close the gap between a positive pregnancy test and a patient feeling confident in their pregnancy, a span that can have weeks without a scheduled medical appointment, yet is filled with physical and emotional uncertainty. Materna will be offering same day and next day prenatal visits, ultrasounds, preconception guidance, IV hydration, iron infusions, nausea and vomiting treatments, medication management, mental health support,  and sound medical advice and reassurance from expert OB/GYNs.

"Materna is finally giving women an obstetrical solution to get through the most exhausting and difficult part of pregnancy: the beginning," said Dr. Abdelhak, Co-Founder and Perinatologist. "For too long, women in the earliest weeks of pregnancy have been left to navigate complications alone—shuttled to overcrowded ERs, or told to wait days or weeks for care that can't wait. Materna Health is the answer to that silent crisis: a new model of same-day and next-day pregnancy care that steps in where the system has stepped back."

Materna Health opens September 2025 in the West Village.
