HOUSTON -- For decades the destination in Houston for quality care was the Texas Medical Center, and now those name brands are driving a major change in care.
"There is a demand for the health care, and patients don't want to travel far for the health care. They would rather have local care of quality," said Dr. Steven Stern, an obstetrician-gynecologist.
That demand pushes doctors too. After 31 years delivering babies, Stern is pulling up stakes and moving to the new St. Luke's at the Vintage, in fact he is scheduled to deliver the first baby in the new hospital on Dec. 1.
