Women's and Infant Services

From Birth to the Autumn of Life–
Caring for the Women and Children of Our Community.

Babies and mothers. Daughters and sons. In Parkland’s Women and Children’s Services the family comes first with care for patients in the first moments of life to the golden years of a life well-lived. Women and Children’s Services is comprised of seven departments, with care in all areas provided by interdisciplinary teams including RNs, LVNs, and Advanced Practice Nurses.

Labor & Delivery Triage
This unit is the hub of L&D activity and manages about 22,000 patients a year. Here, Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioners and RNs assess and triage obstetrical patients based on medical protocol.

Labor & Delivery
More babies are born each year at Parkland than any place else—about 15,000 babies every year. On a busy day you may find more that 20 women in labor. That’s why L&D nurses here have numerous opportunities to learn and gain experience in a variety of settings.

Nurseries
Once the babies are born, they’re cared for in one of two places—the Newborn Nursery or our Neonatal ICU. The Newborn Nursery receives nearly 13,500 newborns a year, while the 98-bed Neonatal ICU cares for approximately 1,100 per year. Both units utilize an interdisciplinary approach to infant care, and both will provide you with experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

Postpartum
Postpartum units at Parkland admit all normal vaginal delivery patients, while also caring for women having acute complications before and after delivery. The care of the low-risk population is managed by Women’s Health Nurse Practitioners and RNs.

Gyn Oncology
The fast-paced Gyn Oncology unit serves both routine Gyn and Gyn Oncology patients for surgeries and other gynecological procedures. The supportive, caring environment gives you plenty of opportunities to teach patients and their families, and to develop strong clinical skills.

OB/Gyn Clinics
The OB Complications Clinic sees mainly obstetrical cases involving difficult pregnancies, genetic complications, or gestational diabetes. The Gyn Clinics concentrate on routine and surgical Gyn follow-up, dysplasia, and oncology. In these clinics you’ll participate in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities including patient assessment, cryosurgery, laser surgery, sonography, aminocentesis, chorionicvilli sampling, cervical biopsies, and patient education.

OB/Gyn intermediate Care Center
The Parkland OB/Gyn Intermediate Care Center cares for women with acute OB/Gyn emergencies ranging from ectopic pregnancies to complications during the first and second trimester of pregnancy. The Center sees close to 3,000 high-risk patients a month, so you’ll be challenged to use all your skills and knowledge. You’ll get the opportunity to do crisis intervention for victims of sexual assault and assist with evidence collection for prosecution. You can also be a part of research projects impacting women’s health issues.
