May 12, 2016, Houston, TX --- Today, The Woman’s Hospital of Texas celebrates the opening of its newly expanded Maternal Assessment Center. This specially-designed Center provides moms-to-be with a unique area focused on their testing or urgent care needs. The Center is open six days a week, weekdays from 7 am to 11 pm, and Saturdays from 7 am to 7 pm.
The expanded 3,800-square-foot Maternal Assessment Center includes 13 private rooms and is easily accessible from valet services and the emergency department located on the hospital’s first floor.
The Maternal Assessment Center offers advanced services to women who need special care during pregnancy. Nursing specialists from the Maternal Assessment Center work with each patient and her personal physician to manage specific conditions, such as the onset of labor, obstetrical and gynecologic conditions, and surgical emergencies. If necessary, the Maternal Assessment Center will provide the patient with direct admission to the hospital’s Labor & Delivery unit.
“The Maternal Assessment Center’s expansion provides our patients and their families with a warm and comforting environment during a stressful time,” said Ashley McClellan, The Woman’s Hospital of Texas Chief Executive Officer. “Our goal is to continue to provide women with resources to enhance their pregnancy care and promote positive outcomes.”
The Woman’s Hospital of Texas is the premier facility for pregnant women in Texas. The Maternal Assessment Center expansion allows The Woman’s Hospital of Texas to better serve the women of Houston and outlying communities.
