Prism Health North Texas Welcomes New Women’s Health Provider

Prism Health North Texas (PHNTX) is proud to announce Lori Morales, MD as the newest member of its clinical team specializing in women’s health services. Dr. Morales is accepting new patients at the organization’s Oak Cliff Health Center located at 219 Sunset Avenue #119 and South Dallas Health Center at 4922 Spring Avenue.

Dr. Morales is a board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate women’s health care. A graduate of Plano Senior High School, she received her Doctorate in Medicine from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and completed residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

Dr. Morales’ career blends academic expertise, leadership experience, and patient-centered care across diverse clinical settings. She is especially qualified to serve PHNTX’s growing patient population with her prior experience at multiple Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) caring for patients regardless of insurance status, working to increase trust of the healthcare system and continuity of care. She has been dedicated to training physicians early in their careers via her positions as an assistant professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center for ten years and most recently as Director of Ob/Gyn Graduate Medical Education at Lone Star Circle of Care Clinic, an FQHC network in Central Texas. Morales also served as Medical Director at the Parkland Hospital Ob/Gyn Emergency Department, focusing on patient safety, quality improvement, and access to care.

“I’m honored to join Prism Health North Texas and continue serving women and families in communities that too often face limited access to obstetric and gynecological care,” said Dr. Morales. “My experience in community health center settings has emphasized the importance of culturally competent, relationship-based care in improving long-term health outcomes for the whole family. I look forward to helping patients feel supported, respected, and empowered in their healthcare journey.”

“Women’s health is one of the fastest-growing areas of need we see across the communities we serve,” said Dr. William Hays, Chief Medical Officer of Prism Health North Texas. “Dr. Morales brings a rare combination of clinical excellence, leadership experience, and a deep understanding of community-based care. Her addition strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive care for women while advancing our vision of making high-quality healthcare more accessible for families throughout North Texas.”

PHNTX was designated Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike status in 2024, expanding its services to include women’s health and pediatric care at its South Dallas Health Center, which was updated to serve as a comfortable, approachable environment for families seeking care under one roof. To meet increased demand in communities with lower access to these service areas, PHNTX began offering these services at its Oak Cliff Health Center in 2025. The schedules of PHNTX’s pediatric care provider and of Dr. Morales will be aligned in order to treat mothers and children at the same facility, on the same day when possible. As an FQHC Look-Alike, PHNTX accepts patients with private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, or no insurance supported by a sliding fee scale based on income.

“Dr. Morales brings decades of experience caring for women across a wide range of clinical and community health settings, making her an exceptional addition to our team,” said Dr. John Carlo, CEO of Prism Health North Texas. “We are especially proud to continue building care models where women and children can receive services in the same trusted health centers, helping make healthcare more accessible and connected for families.”
