From grocery store to an Ambulatory Care Center, this adaptive re-use renovation transformation will serve the local community well into the changing future.
Before
EAPC provided room layout design expertise and coordination of vendor equipment implementation for this remodeled space, formerly a Pamida store
EAPC and Essentia Health have created a trusted partnership developing and renovating ambulatory and acute care locations in the Minnesota and North Dakota area
Our collaborative team developed a clinical module that aligns with Essentia Health’s integrated care model, allowing patients to be seen by a range of healthcare providers in one setting and one visit, ranging from their primary care physician to a phlebotomist, radiologist, pharmacist and physical therapist
The innovative clinical module is designed as an on-stage/off-stage model with a concourse, allowing more communication and team interaction during care delivery
Collaborative work rooms replace private offices for each care team, with small pods for private phone calls or other work
Waiting area features digital check-in and flexible social distance seating
Exam rooms with soundproof sliding doors are 30% larger than standard to accommodate families and care teams
Includes 18 exam rooms as well as procedure space, a large physical, occupational, and speech therapy department, two new general radiographic rooms, and a state-of-the-art MRI room
New patient entrance/drop-off canopy and drive through pharmacy was added along with upgrades to parking, signage, lighting, and landscaping design for easy and convenient access for visitors and patients
Current services offered at the clinic include therapy, MRI, primary care, and walk-in care
Future services planned include orthopedics, podiatry, and surgical services
Dual entries in exam rooms and corridors dedicated to staff and patients makes this clinic well suited to handle the unique conditions needed to treat COVID patients
