Since its founding in 2004, the Center has been committed to delivering outstanding clinical care, scientific discovery, training the next generation of investigators and clinicians, and informing policy in women's reproductive mood disorders. The Center is the primary referral resource in North Carolina for perinatal patients with complex psychiatric illness, and it operates a dedicated Perinatal Psychiatry Inpatient Unit.
