CenteringPregnancy®

We offer a new type of prenatal care called CenteringPregnancy®. This new program puts together a group of moms whose babies are due at the same time.

CenteringPregnancy® helps groups of expecting moms:

  • Meet together regularly.
  • Learn care skills.
  • Join in discussions.
  • Develop a support network with other group members.

Each pregnancy group meets for a total of 10 sessions through pregnancy and early post-birth. Meetings last about 2 hours.

Pharmacy

We have an on-site pharmacy, so we can make sure the medications you need are ready for you without a long wait. The pharmacy and OB staff work together to make sure you know how to take your medications. The pharmacy is open 7 days a week, so you can always get your refills.

Lab Tests

We provide basic laboratory tests and x-rays. You get the results quickly while you wait. This allows your doctor to make better decisions about your care without you having to leave the building.

Dental

As an added benefit, a team from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Dentistry is here to provide the best oral health care for you.
