A New Maternity Center

The new Texas Children's Maternity Center will provide the finest prenatal, obstetric and related services to women and perinatal care for their babies in a new state-of-the-art facility slated to open in 2010.

Once fully operational, Texas Children's Maternity Center will care for both normal and high-risk deliveries. Pediatric intensive care units in the new center will provide seamless care of mother and newborn. Care of mothers and infants requiring a pediatric specialist can then be coordinated under the auspices of one institution—Texas Children's Hospital.

Construction of Texas Children's Maternity Center, which will be located in the 6600 block of Fannin on the campus of Texas Children's, begins in 2007. The building will be connected by bridge to Texas Children's Hospital. Texas Children's entry into obstetrical services will allow us to monitor and treat both mother and child during the prenatal and perinatal period and to administer any needed urgent care and subspecialty services.
