The first Center, at 814 Martin Road in northwest
Amarillo, opened in 1999. It originally served about 1,000
patients -- that number has jumped to 35,000 as of last
year. Mark Miracle, Director of both Centers, expects the
new facility in southeast Amarillo to expand within five
years, with a growth rate similar to the first.
Healthcare Closer to Home Children can visit either Center for checkups,
immunizations and other preventive care measures.
In addition to gynecological care, women can come in
for pre-pregnancy checkups, ultrasounds and other
prenatal services.
Expanding Children's Minds, Too "We want these books to become part of children's
lives," Mr. Miracle says.
The Centers accept Medicare/Medicaid and state health
insurance programs. Families also may qualify for other
assistance programs. Staff members can help patients
apply for these programs at their first appointments.

OB/GYN AND PEDIATRICS
Providing Great Care for
Women and Children
To continue meeting the community's growing healthcare
needs, Northwest is proud to announce the opening of a
second branch of the Women's and Children's Healthcare
Center in southeast Amarillo. This new, 5,000-square-foot
facility offers obstetric and gynecological services and
pediatric care, as well as free patient transportation to
and from appointments.
"The original Center was too far away for some people,"
Mr. Miracle says. "We wanted to offer another, closer
option for families' healthcare needs."
Patients can expect more than just great care. To promote
early literacy, the Centers provide opportunities for children
to learn. At each appointment, books are provided at no
cost to children ages 6 months to 5 years through the
Reach Out and Read® program.
