About the Organization

At The Woman’s Hospital of Texas, our care philosophy is Woman First. It’s in our name and founding mission. Our 420+ bed hospital was founded in 1976 by 29 physicians who recognized a need in Houston for a facility focused solely on women in all stages of life. We were the first women's hospital in Houston and the first facility in Texas dedicated to the health of women and newborns.

Today, we are the state’s premier facility dedicated to the health of women and children, offering expertise and an outstanding level of care in breast health, imaging, gynecology, minimally invasive surgery, infertility, obstetrics, high-risk pregnancy, and pediatrics. We deliver 800+ babies a month—more than any other hospital in Texas—and care for more multiple births than any other hospital in the region. Our Level IV NICU provides the highest level of care for premature babies, and we have the area's only March of Dimes NICU Family Support program.

As a member of HCA Houston Healthcare, the most comprehensive healthcare provider in the region, we are part of a network that delivers stronger, smarter, and more accessible care to women than any other medical system across the Houston area. HCA Healthcare has been recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® by the Ethisphere Institute more than ten times. In recent years, HCA Healthcare spent an estimated $3.7 billion in cost for the delivery of charitable care, uninsured discounts, and other uncompensated expenses.
