The new OB-GYN clinic, which opened in November, is part of a larger push by the system to expand access to women's health care.
Methodist Healthcare opened its first obstetrics and gynecology clinic in mid November, as part of a broader push toward expanding access to women’s health services in San Antonio.across three hospitals in South Texas as demand for services grows.
Methodist Healthcare maintains the largest system in San Antonio with 11 hospitals. The clinic will offer the full spectrum of OB-GYN services, including preconception counseling, prenatal care, management of low- and high-risk pregnancies, labor, delivery and postpartum care, well-woman exams, pap tests, menopause care and advanced surgical procedures.“It speaks to our commitment to women’s services across the Methodist Healthcare system,” Methodist Hospital Stone Oak CEO Michael Beaver said. The Stone Oak hospital, in the growing northern outskirts of San Antonio, saw a record number of births in 2025. The hospital delivered around 2,700 babies, a 27% increase from 2024, Beaver said. In September, Perinatal Associates of San Antonio — a private clinic specializing in high-risk births — was integrated into the Methodist Healthcare system, still operating the same clinics in Stone Oak and the medical center, but with wider access to Methodist’s network of providers. “Perinatal associates of San Antonio has been a long-standing, really respected group of maternal fetal medicine specialists,” said Rachel Goldsmith, CEO of Methodist Children’s Hospital. “They’re able to offer advanced imaging and genetic counseling and help to coordinate care for both mom and baby during that those complex pregnancies.” And in October, the system’s flagship hospital in the South Texas Medical Center underwent a $4.5 million renovation of its labor and delivery department. Over 16,000 square feet of space was enhanced for increased comfort, care and experience for patients and their loved ones. Renovations began this fall and are scheduled for completion by March 2026. Methodist Healthcare maintains four neonatal intensive care units in San Antonio, and the system delivers the most babies of any hospital system, according to a news release.At San Antonio Report, we’re committed to providing free, fair journalism for all.
