About Us
Since 1993, the bilingual staff of the FamilyCARE Center Women’s Services has been here to meet the health care needs of women throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. Our highly skilled physicians, who specialize in Obstetrics, and our Certified Nurse Midwives, who are registered through the National Certification Board of Nurse Midwifery, are dedicated to providing affordable, compassionate and quality health care and support services to the women of east Texas.

Medical Services
• Prenatal exams & tests
• Minor treatments & procedures
• Labor & Delivery
• Postpartum care


Special Deliveries
Nearly 10% of all newborns require the medical expertise only available in a NICU.
When you're expecting, the unexpected can happen. We've planned for it. Have you? Our Level IIIA NICU is equipped to care for babies born as early as 28 weeks or weighing as little as 2.2 lbs., as well as full-term babies with breathing difficulties, infections and other health conditions.

For newborns meeting this criteria, the safest mode of transport to our NICU is directly from the Trinity Mother Frances Birth Center. By choosing to deliver at Trinity Mother Frances you can ensure that your newborn has immediate access to the medical expertise they need.

But, when situations arise and transport from another facility is necessary, our Neonatal Transport Team is available for the emergency ground transport of infants in need of the care we provide at the Trinity Mother Frances NICU.

Caring for New Mother & Baby
Before leaving the hospital, every mother receives a copy of Caring for New Mother & Baby, a reference guide for caring for mother and baby while in the hospital and once at home. But, we encourage mothers and labor coaches to read this online guide prior to arriving at The Birth Center for a preview of what to expect during your hospital stay.
