Patients and visitors

Guided by the needs of our patients, our wayfinding map is designed to help you plan your visit before you leave your house. Our map will help you find points of interest like dining options, restrooms and waiting rooms with simple wayfinding directions.

Wireless internet connection is available for patients and guests.

A telecommunications device is available to facilitate communication with hearing-impaired patients. Arrangements may also be made for a sign language interpreter to help any hearing-impaired or deaf patients. Please ask your provider for assistance.

The Woman’s Hospital of Texas believes patient-focused care involves attention to the spiritual, as well as the physical and emotional needs of each patient. We will be glad to call clergy from any denomination or religious affiliation to meet your needs during your stay. Please speak with your nurse to request this service.

The Woman’s Hospital of Texas chapel is located on the first floor of the East Tower and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Each patient suite has a thermostat to assist in keeping temperatures regulated for comfort. Medications can often make a patient feel warmer than usual, so rooms are generally cool. If at any time you would like additional blankets, they will be provided.

To provide a safe and healthy environment, The Woman's Hospital of Texas supports zero tolerance for violence. Security representatives are located in the hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be reached by calling our on-duty security team at (502) 705-3728.
