A community of care for veterans in western Pennsylvania
Activating a patient-centered care model to support the social and medical health of patients in need
Our local architect, engineers, and interior design team was honored to join a dedicated P3 team in delivering a highly-anticipated veterans outpatient clinic—the Veteran Administration’s Health Care Center in Pennsylvania.
Designed to support the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model, the Health Care Center responds to a broad spectrum of veteran needs. By physically and programmatically placing the patient at the center of their own care, the new facility serves not only patients and their physicians, but also families, friends, and caregivers.
The Health Care Center houses nine PACT service areas, each of which implements exams rooms with two doors—one for the patient, the other for healthcare providers. From medical exams to therapy and other treatments, services come directly to the patient to greatly reduce travel time and confusion. Each PACT service area—including one exclusively for women—features its own waiting room.
Our design, in collaboration with Mascaro Construction Company and Cambridge Healthcare Solutions, contributed to the smooth delivery of the facility. |
