Clinical Health and Wellness Center

The design for Independence Health System’s Medical Office Building in Clarion evolved to meet the program goals of the System. A variety of patient services were contemplated and ‘test fit’, resulting in the conversion of the existing institutional building into a 25,000 SF Medical Office Building. This building serves as a comprehensive outpatient destination supporting nearby Clarion Hospital.

The 3-story outpatient center designed by DRAW was delivered on a fast-track schedule and provides multi-specialty practices, lab/imaging diagnostics, and physical therapy services in a community health and wellness center.

DRAW’s design for the project included a hospital-based diagnostic suite with lab services, X-ray, Mammography, DXA, echocardiogram, and ultrasound rooms. Additionally, the design included a hospital-based outpatient physical therapy, all designed in compliance with the 2018 edition of Guidelines for Design and Construction of Outpatient Facilities.

The program also included a family medicine physician practice with 12 exam rooms serving the Hospital’s residency program. Women’s health and cardiology practices within the medical building aim to provide convenient access to comprehensive care.

The exam/treatment rooms were designed to adapt to the various medical specialties that share the building in order to maintain flexibility.
