At The Knox Birth Center in Webster, TX, we believe peace of mind and personalized birth care should go hand in hand. That’s why our proximity to both HCA Houston Clear Lake and UTMB Health Clear Lake Campus matters so much for families in South Houston.
Every family has a unique reason for choosing midwifery care and a birth center setting. For some, it’s about having a more peaceful, home-like environment. For others, it’s about avoiding unnecessary interventions or feeling more seen and involved in their birth decisions. But across the board, one thing remains true, families want to feel safe and supported through this incredibly transformative season of their life.
At The Knox Birth Center, we understand that safety looks different for everyone. That’s why our location, less than a mile from both HCA and UTMB, is such a key part of our model. It gives our clients the ability to embrace low-intervention, evidence-based care with the reassurance that hospital support is right down the road if it’s ever needed. Because, you shouldn’t have to choose between a calm, empowering environment and access to advanced care.
At The Knox Birth Center, our close proximity to local hospitals isn’t just a convenience, it’s a built-in layer of our mission for safe and empowered birth. While our care is designed for healthy, low-risk pregnancies, we recognize that birth doesn’t always follow a predictable path. In those moments, having the hospital just minutes away means a smoother, faster transfer if needed. It also gives families the peace of mind to stay present in their experience, knowing there’s a clear and immediate plan in place should circumstances shift.
Our midwives are not only experts in physiological, unmedicated birth, they are also trained to identify complications early and act quickly. We bring emergency equipment, oxygen, IV therapy, and medications directly to your birth space. More importantly, our philosophy centers on working with you, not around you. If a transfer becomes necessary, it’s not a failure; it’s simply a continuation of care with your well-being at the center.
Sometimes, it’s not even about a medical emergency, it’s about how birth unfolds. Labor can bring unexpected levels of pain, fatigue, or emotional intensity. You might reach a point where your body is asking for more support, whether that’s rest, medication, or just a change of environment. Being close to a hospital allows you to make that call without fear or delay. It lets you try for the birth you want, knowing that additional support is available if you decide you need it.
When you’re growing your family, community matters and being close to trusted birthing locations is a big part of feeling supported and grounded in that community. That’s why at The Knox Birth Center, we intentionally positioned ourselves as the only freestanding birth center in South Houston, so you can stay close to your people, your home, and the place you already belong.
Our birth center is just minutes away from two top‑performing hospitals: HCA Houston Clear Lake, recently recognized as “High Performing” by U.S. News & World Report, UTMB Health, ranked among Healthgrades’ 250 Best Hospitals for 2025. That close proximity gives you something many families want: freedom to birth where they choose and a back up option that doesn’t feel like they are losing out on their autonomy.
We’re here for South Houston families who want choice, comfort, and confidence all wrapped into one.
Choosing where to birth isn’t just about what you want, it’s also about what you deserve. At The Knox Birth Center, we believe your birth setting should be filled with trust, choice, and evidence‑based support.
Because you don’t have to choose between comfort and safety. You can have both.
If you’re seeking a place where your birth is honored, your choices respected, and your well‐being held, we’d love to talk with you. Come tour our center in Webster, TX, and discover the thoughtful care we’ve built for families like yours.
