OB/GYN Clinics
Healthy Women, Healthy Babies
|
Two Holy Cross Health clinics are dedicated to supporting women from the beginning of their pregnancy—to the birth of a healthy baby. The Holy Cross Hospital OB/GYN Clinic and the Holy Cross Germantown Hospital OB Clinic provide critical prenatal and follow-up care to women with no health insurance and limited financial resources.
Holy Cross Health has a long history of service to women in need. Since 1963, we have been the leading provider of prenatal, obstetric and gynecologic services for uninsured women in the county.
In 1999, thousands more patients were entrusted to our care through the Maternity Partnership Program, a collaborative agreement between Holy Cross Health and the Montgomery County Department Health and Human Services to provide maternity services to patients in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
Full Service from the Experts
Clinic patients receive the same high quality, sophisticated care that has made Holy Cross Health the region’s busiest birthing center. Our maternity services teams deliver more than 10,000 babies each year.
The clinic team of maternal and infant health experts see more than 80 new patients every week. Our patients receive the full range of services, including prenatal care and post-delivery services. The Holy Cross Hospital clinic also provides general gynecologic services for women of any age. Since 1999, Holy Cross Health has provided care to more than 23,000 women in the Maternity Partnership program, with a significantly lower incidence of low birth weight newborns.
Convenient, Culturally Accessible
The clinic locations make care convenient—with close-by public transportation services. Women come to the OB/GYN Clinics for prenatal care at any point during pregnancy, although most have nine visits leading up to their delivery. They deliver their babies at Holy Cross Hospital or Holy Cross Germantown Hospital, which both offer the same expertise and full-service, compassionate and comprehensive maternity services.
Because many of our patients are not native English speakers, every member of our staff is bilingual to provide culturally competent quality care. Holy Cross Health also offers an extensive perinatal education program that includes classes in Spanish.
