Eisner Health Panorama City
Panorama City, California
Eisner Health, Panorama City Clinic, is a shining example of how thoughtful design and innovative solutions can transform a healthcare space. Through a collaboration with Unisource Solutions, the clinic has been carefully tailored to meet the needs of its staff and patients, promoting both functionality and comfort. This case study explores the impact of these strategic design choices on creating an environment where care and community thrive.
Eisner Health has a long-standing commitment to delivering quality healthcare to Southern California's underserved populations. With a focus on accessibility and inclusivity, the organization has expanded its reach through multiple clinics, including the Panorama City Clinic. This modern facility was established to address the growing healthcare needs of the community, combining innovative design with patient-centered care to create a welcoming and efficient environment for all.
Scope and Objectives
The Panorama City Clinic project is designed to meet the community's growing healthcare demands through an expansive and thoughtfully planned facility. With over 20 patient rooms, dedicated nurses' stations, doctors' private offices, a meeting room, and welcoming waiting areas, the clinic aims to deliver seamless functionality and comfort. Reflecting the vibrant culture of Panorama City, the design incorporates elements inspired by the local plaza setting while maintaining a strong focus on accessibility and wellness, ensuring a positive and inclusive experience for patients and staff alike.
Challenges
The project faces three primary challenges: optimizing the use of a limited space to ensure functionality and comfort without overcrowding, harmonizing aesthetic appeal with the clinic's operational needs to create a welcoming environment, and thoughtfully integrating playful design elements in the children’s waiting area to offer a vibrant and comforting space while maintaining cohesion with the overall design.
Solutions:
The solutions for this project seamlessly integrated the design inspiration of an authentic plaza setting with a vibrant and warm style rooted in Mexican culture. By using rich and colorful accents strategically across key spaces, the design evokes a sense of community and warmth, aligning with the clinic's purpose. Through smart space planning and multi-functional furniture, the layout ensures functionality and efficiency while maintaining an inviting and cohesive aesthetic. The vibrant, playful elements in the children’s waiting area further reinforce this, creating a calming yet engaging environment for young patients that reflects the cultural inspiration behind the design.
