Paul and Judy Andrews Women’s Hospital

Andrews Women's Hospital at Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth is a complete healthcare destination designed specifically for women. Andrews Women’s Hospital (AWH) delivers more than 6,000 babies annually—a volume greater than any other facility in Tarrant County and second highest in the DFW metroplex. AWH includes a labor and delivery unit that offers high-risk pregnancy care and a Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) designed to care for the tiniest infants, as well as those born with serious medical challenges.

Maternal Care for High-Risk Pregnancies

Andrews Women’s Hospital has a national reputation for expertise in high-risk pregnancy and childbirth. AWH is the first hospital in Tarrant County designated as a Level IV maternal care center, the highest possible designation by the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The Level IV designation was given after a rigorous two-day onsite survey of medical staff and facilities during which AWH was recognized for its expertise in providing comprehensive care through a cadre of medical, maternal, surgical specialists and behavioral health specialists available for round-the-clock support. 

This designation means we are seeing more patients with high-risk pregnancies, further supporting the need to expand labor and delivery. The Delta variant has been found to cause serious and sometimes fatal illness in pregnant women who are unvaccinated. This has resulted in numerous transfer of patients across the region who need the care that only a Level IV maternal care center can provide.

The Project

Construction is underway to create four additional labor and delivery suites and a corresponding nurse’s station. This represents a 20% increase from 19 to 23 rooms. The designs were based on input from surveys of local women planning to expand their families.

Once these rooms are complete, the hospital will begin updating our current 19 rooms which have experienced a great deal of wear and tear over the past 13 years. Upgrade needs include new flooring, light fixtures, paint, and furniture, and the color schemes will be modified to blend with the modernized finishes of the new rooms.

This expansion and improvement project is crucial to meeting the growing maternal care needs of our population, while also providing a warm and family-focused environment for expectant moms.  Philanthropic support will help us provide the very best care to families in our community.
