The Woman’s Hospital of Texas At The Woman’s Hospital of Texas, we know that every woman is one of a kind. We believe that every woman deserves to be treated as an individual with the best understanding, compassion, and support for who she is at every stage of life. And, we know that one size health care does not fit all. Our care philosophy is Woman First. It’s in our name, and it’s in our founding mission. Our hospital was founded in 1976 by 29 physicians who recognized a need in Houston for a facility focused solely on women in all stages of life. Our founders specifically chose to name the hospital Woman’s — not Women’s — in honor of each patient as an individual and the personal attention each woman receives.
