Methodist Healthcare San Antonio Women’s Health Services

For all the joy and tears life brings to women …Methodist Women’s Services is with you every step of the way. From FirstSteps, our comprehensive childbirth education program for expectant moms, to LifeSteps, a program designed specifically for women 40 and over. Methodist Women’s Services offers tools to help women maintain their good health and a place to turn when faced with health challenges.

In 2006, Methodist Women’s Services unveils a new logo to represent the different aspects of a woman’s life: knowledge, childbirth, heart care, fitness and awareness.

We understand that the needs of every woman are as unique as the woman herself. Whether she is pursuing fitness, embracing motherhood or battling illness, we are committed to serving the full spectrum of her life.

Education is the most important link to disease prevention. The more a woman knows about her body and her needs the better a woman can live her life. At www.SAHealth.com, women can use a variety of search engines to track down information on many health topics. We offer WomanPlus and 55PLUS, membership programs that give us the opportunity to communicate with you about the amazing programs we offer from line dancing and massage therapy to escorted trips and tours and seminars on topics ranging from breastfeeding multiples (twins, triplets, and more!) to preparing documents for advance directives and living wills.

For those in need of treatment, whether it’s an emergency room visit for stitches or for chest pain, Methodist puts an emphasis on making sure highly skilled nurses and doctors are ready with the latest technology to treat any health challenge you’re facing.

Methodist Women’s Services, through the new Metropolitan Methodist Women’s Pavilion and the Methodist Hospital Women’s Pavilion, deliver more than 10,000 babies a year, more than any other provider in South Texas and nearly half of all babies born in San Antonio. Clearly, women prefer Methodist over any other hospital in town when choosing which hospital they trust with life’s most precious moment: the birth of a child.
