Take-5: Life With Quintuplets

Established in 1976, The Woman's Hospital of Texas (Woman's) is the state's premier facility dedicated solely to the care of women and newborn infants. More than 30 years ago a group of physicians envisioned a hospital that met the health needs of women and fostered the understanding of how modern healthcare can improve the lives of women and their families. Woman's continues to build on the original premise reflected by its founders and is committed to its mission of providing compassionate and exceptional care to the women and infants it serves.
The hospital maintains one acute-care facility near the Texas Medical Center with 397 licensed beds offering a full range of medical services exclusively for women and infants.
In the fall of 2009, Woman's unveiled its $75 million, 145,000 square-foot expansion adding an additional 92 beds to its Texas Medical Center location. As an affiliate of Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Woman's also has an affiliate hospital – The Woman's Hospital at Conroe – which provides convenient access to the same highly regarded, specialized services for which Woman's is renowned.
More than 650 board-certified physicians at Woman's offer their expertise and an outstanding level of quality care in the areas of gynecology, regular obstetrical care, high-risk pregnancy and minimally invasive surgery.
Today, the hospital remains focused on a woman's responsibility for her health throughout every stage of her adult life, providing resources for prevention, education, wellness and outstanding medical care. Woman's strives to uphold its mission not only to its patients, but also to the community.
Woman's is a proud supporter of the Houston-area community through a number of fundraising events and professional opportunities. Our largest event and fundraiser, The Woman's Hospital of Texas Labor Day Luncheon & Style Show, benefits the March of Dimes, a non-profit organization dedicated to the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Even the tiniest of patients receive care at Woman's – more than 9,000 babies are born at the hospital every year, making Woman's the leading choice for expectant mothers – more than any other hospital in the Houston area or Texas Medical Center.
