Why MFM Physicians Choose Hera
You Trained to Lead Complex Care. Find a Model Built Around Your Expertise.
University MFM buries your impact in bureaucracy. Radiology-only roles reduce you to reading scans. Community consult models treat MFM as a cost center, not a driver of outcomes. Hera puts your expertise to work where it matters most: leading care, shaping protocols, and changing outcomes
Embedded from day one
Daily huddles with OB teams, protocol ownership, and direct involvement in every complex patient, not just the referrals that make it to you
Every complex case is yours to influence
3,474 births across the network means your protocols, your simulation drills, and your decisions touch every high-risk pregnancy, not just the consults that get routed to you
A real research pipeline with publication support
Structured data warehouse, outcomes tracking, and active SMFM presence; your work gets submitted and presented
Protocols that travel across the network
What you build at one site becomes the standard across all Hera practices; your guidelines have network reach
Physician governance, not administrative hierarchy
Career advancement tied to grant cycles and departmental hierarchy, not patient outcomes
Autonomy to run your practice as an independent clinic
Schedules set at the practice level, patient care over patient quotas
Full-spectrum MFM expertise on the patient’s care team
You read the scan, sit in the huddle, write the protocol, and follow the patient through delivery. The point of MFM training is the whole patient, not the image
A Better Way to Practice MFM
More than Benefits. A Better Model.
These aren’t perks; they’re structural advantages that make Hera the highest impact place for MFM specialists to practice.
Full OB/MFM Integration
You don’t wait for referrals. You’re embedded in the OB practice, in the building, in the huddles, in the protocols. MFM is the core of how Hera delivers care, not an add-on service line.
Outcomes Data You Can Actually Publish
Hera’s data warehouse captures structured outcome data across every birth, every protocol, every complication. It’s designed for research not just billing.
Simulation Training You Lead
Hera’s maternal-fetal medicine simulation program is MFM designed and MFM led. You train the OBs and L&D nursing teams together. Your protocols become their reflexes before a crisis happens.
National Protocol Influence
What you develop doesn’t stay at one site. Hera’s protocol engine deploys validated MFM guidelines across the entire network. As Hera expands nationally, your clinical decisions are scaled with it.
MFM Clinical Council You Govern
Hera’s physician governance includes a dedicated MFM council. You set standards, approve protocols, and shape how the specialty is practiced across the entire network. This isn’t advisory, it has authority.
Support of Maternal Deserts in NV
Hera supports maternal deserts in Nevada. MFM specialists joining now help design the care model; you’re not inheriting someone else’s system, you’re building yours.
RESEARCH & PUBLICATION
This is What Research Outside the University Looks like Without Bureaucracy
You don’t need to be at a university to publish. Hera’s data infrastructure and SMFM presence make active research possible without the grant cycles, department politics, or teaching load that comes with university medicine.
Structured data from day one
Every birth, complication, and protocol outcome is captured in a research-ready warehouse, no retrospective chart review
Active SMFM presence and submission support
Hera has presented late-breaking research at SMFM. A proven abstract to presentation process exists.
Network-scale sample size
Multi-site data across thousands of births gives you statistical power that single-practice research can never reach
Peer review built into the culture
Protocol changes require evidence review by the MFM council; your research goes through a rigorous internal process before it reaches journals
From Dr. Brian Iriye – SMFM Lifetime Achievement Award
“The thing that drew me to Hera wasn’t a title or a department, it was a platform where what I know about high-risk pregnancy could actually reach every OB we work with, not just the fellows I trained.”
Dr. Brian Iriye, MD, MFM Specialist, High Risk Pregnancy Center
