it’s ours.

Now Dallas women at every stage of life have a hospital that’s uniquely ours — where excellence meets elegance and healthcare is personalized just for us. It’s nice to know my daughter, my mother, my sisters, my friends and I can all expect the highest-quality, specialized care. And, it’s the only North Texas hospital with both a full-service children’s hospital and adult hospital in the same location.

Welcome to Medical City Women’s Hospital. It’s yours. It’s ours.

My Life. My Health. My Hospital.
