TENACIOUS
In parenting, persistence pays off. You’ve got to pick your battles and stand your ground,
unless you want to lose it. At Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women, we’re fighters too.
Every day we fight for women to become mothers and babies to become healthy children,
even when the odds are stacked against them. Our physicians and staff are specially trained
to see high-risk pregnancies reach successful outcomes. Like the parents we serve, we don’t
give up. We engineer new treatments and find better ways to care for our patients, big and
small. We’re here for you, for life.
