Specialized Pregnancy Care for UT Health Employees
 
 

Advanced age, obesity, asthma and diabetes are just a few conditions that can make a pregnancy "high-risk." Expectant moms can have an appointment with our maternal-fetal medicine specialists as early as 5 weeks into their pregnancy.

UT System employees with UT Select insurance receive priority scheduling and reduced co-pays for specialty visits.


Many women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant hope for an uneventful pregnancy, easy delivery and a healthy baby. Unfortunately, there are certain conditions that can classify a pregnancy as high-risk and require additional care.

Advanced age, obesity, diabetes and asthma are just a few conditions that can qualify your pregnancy as high-risk. While it is possible to have a healthy pregnancy with these conditions it is important to have a strong support system and to develop a care plan with your health care provider.

Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists can see expectant mothers as early as 5 weeks into pregnancy. Make an appointment today, our maternal-fetal medicine specialists will ensure both mom and baby get the care they need while answering any questions about pregnancy and delivery.

When a loved one needs you
 

Illness or injury to a close family member can be stressful, time-consuming and emotionally difficult. Read about a university benefit that can help make those challenges a little less demanding.


Illness or injury to a close family member can be stressful, time-consuming and emotionally difficult. A university benefit, however, can help make those challenges a little less demanding.

 

Paid family leave provides up to six weeks of paid leave to care for qualified family members such as a spouse, child or parent. It's not for employees' own illnesses, but it also doesn't require use of extended illness or paid time off balances.

 

You can apply for paid family leave by contacting the university's leave vendor, Flores Leave Solutions. These steps will include the Family Medical Leave Act process, which is required in the application for paid family leave.

 

Employees must provide documentation and meet other requirements. Check this page on My UT Health and scroll to "Paid Family Leave" for those details.

"Both the medical assistant and doctor were patient and genuinely attentive to our questions and concerns. There were many as this was our first visit getting to know the doctor and her philosophy on certain treatment for both my husband and myself. She never made us feel rushed either and actually looked and smiled at us when speaking."
