One of the Best Texas Hospitals for Moms and Babies

Depend on us for the highest-level pregnancy, childbirth and newborn care in San Antonio and South Texas. The Women's & Children's Hospital is a Level IV maternal care facility and has a Level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the highest care designations available.

Feel confident that you and your little one are getting the best possible care because we are one of the few hospitals in the region — within 23 surrounding counties — to provide this superior level of care. Other health care facilities transfer their maternal and neonatal patients to us because we have the broad expertise and specialized services needed for high-risk pregnancies or premature babies.
