Safe, quality and compassionate care when your physician is delayed or unavailable
We respect the importance of the relationship you have built with your physician. When your physician is delayed or not available, the obstetric hospitalists on the medical staff will provide the skilled, compassionate care you expect for your delivery. A hospitalist is a physician who cares for patients exclusively in the hospital.
Hospital-based physicians on the medical staff are available 24 hours to provide safe, quality care.
If your physician is not available, the OB hospitalist can examine and evaluate you. If you need to be admitted, the OB hospitalist can manage your labor and even deliver your baby at the request of your physician.
Through cooperation and communication between your physician and the OB hospitalist, you and your baby will receive safe, quality and compassionate care throughout the childbirth experience.
Program advantages to you, the patient:
- OB hospitalists can answer any questions you or a family member may have.
- OB hospitalists are highly skilled in a variety of delivery techniques.
- OB hospitalists are board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology and have additional specialized training in advanced fetal monitoring, operative delivery and advanced cardiac life support.

Recognized for putting you first
Your big moment is one of a kind. Your care should be, too.
That’s why we’re honored to deliver better with the highest-possible rating for Best Hospitals for Maternity from U.S. News & World Report, one of only 14 hospitals in Texas to receive this accolade.
To be recognized among the Best Hospitals for Maternity, hospitals have to excel on multiple quality metrics that matter to expectant families, including complication rates, Cesarean sections, whether births were scheduled too early in pregnancy and how successfully each hospital supported breastfeeding. Fewer than half of the hospitals evaluated by U.S. News for maternity care earned a ‘High Performing’ rating, which is the highest rating U.S. News awards for this care.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your moment.
