(Corpus Christi, TX) Driscoll Children’s
Hospital is proud to announce the opening of Driscoll Women’s
Center, a full-time clinic offering obstetrical care for expectant
mothers specializing in normal and high-risk pregnancies, prenatal care,
contraception and family planning, well-women care, menopause, gynecological
surgery, as well as gynecological care for women of all ages. Owned and
operated by the hospital,
the center’s obstetricians and gynecologists
will work in close concert with Driscoll
pediatric specialists such as neonatologists, geneticists, and lactation
consultants due to provide a complete circle of care.
“With the opening of the new facility, Driscoll will continue to
better serve the community,” says Rick Merrill, C.E.O. and President
of Driscoll Children’s Hospital. “The Women’s Center
will allow Driscoll Children’s Hospital to offer a more comprehensive
range of services to mothers and children – before and after delivery.
We certainly hope that all South Texas babies will be born healthy, but
if they need specialized pediatric healthcare, the center can help moms
and babies make a seamless transition.”
