Women with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, lupus, cancer or multiple sclerosis are at risk for developing complications during pregnancy. Dr. Santiago-Muñoz works with obstetricians to develop treatment plans for women who have existing medical conditions or who develop pregnancy complications that may affect them or their babies. She co-manages patient care with obstetricians as well as with adult and pediatric subspecialists. Should the situation warrant a complete transfer of care, she also accepts obstetrical patients for delivery at Clements University Hospital.
