Texas Children’s
Maternity Center
- With the rise in high risk births in both the region and the nation, Texas Children’s Hospital has identified the need to expand services into maternity care for high-risk births. Core to this philosophy is the revolutionary treatment of children from preconception to post delivery.
- Texas Children’s Hospital currently operates the world’s largest
level 3 neonatal unit. The addition of a targeted, high-risk obstetrics program will enable Texas Children’s renowned newborn program to continue to grow and serve the community.
- The Texas Children’s Maternity Center, in collaboration with Texas Medical Center partners, will provide unparalleled pediatric care to unborn children and newborns with advanced care needs, complementing services in fetal surgery, fetal cardiology and genetics, as well as the Newborn Center.
- Texas Children’s has long been a leader in fetal surgery and, with the development of the new center, has recruited renowned fetal interventionalists Drs.
Kenneth Moise and
Anthony Johnson to enhance this care.
- The new center has a completion date of mid
2011. It will be connected to the main hospital campus and will boast 15 floors, 720,000 square feet and
102 patient beds.
