Texas Children’s Health Plan is thrilled to celebrate the one-year anniversary of The Center for Children and Women in Southwest Houston. Since opening its second location in November 2014, The Center has provided excellent comprehensive primary care for pediatric and obstetrics members of Texas Children’s Health Plan.
The Center provides state-of-the-art health care that integrates a wide variety of services in one location. Through a partnership with Baylor College of Medicine and UT School of Dentistry, services include pediatric and obstetrics/gynecology care, imaging, behavioral health services, dental, optometry, speech therapy and an onsite laboratory and pharmacy. By having all these services under one roof and offering extended hours, members can have all their healthcare needs met on the same day.
“Our extended hours and patient-centered approach means that more families have access to the highest quality care and improved health outcomes,” said Dr. Lisa Hollier, medical director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Center for Children and Women. “Our team is so proud of the incredible impact we’ve had on our members in Southwest Houston.”
The Center has made quite an impact on the Southwest area by providing care to more than 5,890 patients in the last 12 months. This number includes more than 4,988 pediatric patients and 902 obstetric patients. Since opening, there have also been 356 births. The actual number of appointments in the past year may best demonstrate The Center’s true footprint in the community. That number totals more than 33,297 appointments in just 12 months.
“After one short year, it is exciting to see the number of families our amazing team has helped,” said Dr. Heidi Schwarzwald, medical director of Pediatrics at The Center for Children and Women. “I am so proud of the care that we offer and the way our team is always innovating to respond to the needs of the community.”
The Center also hosts a series of programs, including breastfeeding, car seat safety, healthy cooking, and exercise and nutrition classes that help educate the community and promote wellness.
“As I reflect on The Centers and the communities we serve, I am so grateful to be a part of such an amazing team who is making a difference and redefining healthcare for those often considered less fortunate,” said Tangula Taylor, director of Operations at The Center for Children and Women.
