Reproductive years

During the reproductive years, a woman's body requires a wide array of health care needs. From reproductive health: obstetric and gynecologic care, maternity services and breast health to health screenings, our specialists treat women with specialized, integrated and coordinated care that is unique to all women.

The Birth Place at Southwest General is one of the busiest maternity programs in the area. It nearly doubled in size in 2002, and is once again expanding in size, to care for more mothers and babies.

Southwest General Hospital has been recognized with a 5-Star rating for clinical excellence in maternity care from Health Grades, the nation's leading source for health care quality information. On top of that distinction, the hospital has been ranked in the top 5% of hospitals in the nation for maternity care and has been recognized with the Health Grades 2005 Maternity Care Excellence Award.

Midlife

In the middle years, women encounter menopause along with new health risks, such as heart disease, arthritis and osteoporosis. However, many women are too busy taking care of their children, grandchildren and even their parents that they neglect to care for their own health. Southwest General Hospital partners with women to successfully transfer to a new stage of life through support, quality care and with state-of-the-art treatment options.

Prime

Mature women require specialized care that will prevent illness and maintain health during the aging process. Our programs, services and specialists provide quality care and assistance so women can continue to live a long and healthy life.

About Southwest General Hospital

In 1979, a determined group of physicians and businessmen joined together to build a health care facility where it was needed most – in the southwest sector of San Antonio. Today, Southwest General Hospital, a 289-bed acute care facility continues to be the only health care facility, on the southwest quadrant of the city.

Southwest General offers comprehensive health care services, including a strong surgery program, advanced diagnostics and imaging, wound care and hyperbaric services. The hospital has a busy emergency medicine program, and recently expanded its ER to better serve the community.
