Proactive MD
Proactive MD wished to create a non-traditional environment to set their facility apart from other medical offices. The exam rooms are divided into two sides: a consult side where the patient and physician can speak in a more conversational setting, and the exam side where the clinical portions of visits would occur.
Batson worked to renovate former office spaces into Proactive MD’s pilot medical facility. The 4,560 SF space was originally divided amongst three suites in a strip shopping center. The three suites were combined into one larger suite, allowing for open and efficient circulation. The original covered entrance to one of the suites was enclosed to create a Community Learning Center, where health and overall well-being could be taught. The centerpiece of the space is the Staff Core, where nurses and medical assistants work behind 12-foot-tall glass walls and sliding doors to demonstrate the transparency of their approach to healthcare. The use of interior storefront in most spaces was essential to the project in achieving this goal.
