This is love before first sight.

The Brazos Valley Pavilion

We offer solid science — wrapped in warmth, compassion, and love. Perfectly designed for women and their babies.

  • Partnership With Texas Children's Hospital
  • 13 Private NICU Rooms

Yes, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas offers the same programs, Family Rooms, and Happy Wheels Cart in both of our hospitals. These services will remain available to our patients.

Unfortunately, having this service at both hospitals is not feasible. Therefore, all women's services, including maternity, gynecology, and pediatrics, are now only available at our College Station Hospital.

We have 13 private NICU beds for newborns born at 26 weeks and above, with additional space for Well Babies. Our NICU services and capabilities are partnered with Texas Children's Hospital, which allows us to care for more babies locally when they need specialized treatment.
