Our program is unique as a community based stand-alone program with an affiliation with both University of Texas and Baylor Medical Schools. We have a busy adult inpatient service and are proud of our expanding OB volume at St. Joseph which historically was the first to provide Obstetrical services in Houston. We are also proud of our service to those with poor access to medical care, at the Southwest Community Health Center.
