Red Bank Welcomes NJ’s Premier Severe Morning Sickness Center

HI INDIA NEWS DESK
RED BANK, NJ – Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), often under-treated and little understood, profoundly impacted Dr. Marlena Fejzo when she experienced severe morning sickness during her second pregnancy in 1999. Bedridden and unable to eat or drink, she endured excruciating nausea, leading to significant weight loss and the loss of her baby. Determined to prevent others from suffering as she had, Dr. Fejzo, a geneticist, dedicated her career to unraveling the mysteries of HG.

Her groundbreaking research identified GDF15 as the gene responsible for HG, earning her recognition as one of TIME’s 2024 Women of the Year. Now serving as the chief scientific officer at Harmonia Healthcare in New Jersey, Dr. Fejzo aims to provide comprehensive treatment for HG, offering medication, vitamin infusions, and telehealth support. Harmonia’s innovative care model, proven to drastically reduce ER visits and total cost of care, ensures patients receive outpatient treatment rooted in research and compassion. With plans to expand to New York City, Harmonia offers hope and relief to pregnant individuals suffering from HG, without the need for referrals.
