4 TexasHealthMansfield.org Women’s Health Center expansion gains momentum The Women’s Health Center expansion at Texas Health Hospital Mansfield is well underway, notes Chief Nursing Officer Kelli Wray, DNP, APRN, CPHQ. It’s all part of how Texas Health Mansfield is working to meet our community’s growing need for local care. “If you take a look out any of our windows, you’ll see new homes being built,” Kelli says. “Families are moving in and needing these services.” This spring, the work being done includes expanding the postpartum unit to 24 beds and adding an 11-bed, level 2 neonatal intensive care unit so more babies who need specialized care can receive it closer to their families. After that, phase 2 of construction will begin. Projected to finish in 2027, phase 2 will include: A four-bed obstetrics emergency department (ED). The unit will provide pregnant women a dedicated ED space, separate from the general ED area, where they will receive 24/7 prompt evaluation for pregnancy concerns from obstetrician hospitalists and nurse-midwives. Twice as many birthing suites. “We’re doubling our labor and delivery capacity with a new, 10-bed unit,” Kelli notes. The upgrade will feature beautiful, private rooms designed to provide comfort and ample space for moms and families. Outpatient women’s health services. The Women’s Health Center will bring together our current outpatient women’s health services— such as breast health screening, gynecology services and pelvic floor therapy—all in one convenient location. The center will continue to prioritize prevention and health education, along with whole-person care, Kelli says. As our service offerings expand, you’ll continue to experience the warm connections and patientcentered care that distinguish Texas Health Mansfield. “Our mission is to care for one another and carry forward the healing ministry of Christ—something we live out every day,” Kelli says.
