WISH Clinic At New Parkland
The New Parkland campus in Dallas opened the Women & Infants Specialty Health (WISH) Clinic on August 23rd. This new facility has 135,000 square feet and incorporates evidence based design principles in order to help the patients through the wide range of emotions they can experience while there.
Some of the features the designers specifically incorporated into the design of the clinic included:
- A secure, healing environment for women, using hospitable, durable, and sustainable materials, was set within a consistent design theme.
- Soft, curvilinear forms define the ceiling and subtly direct patients to places of waiting, areas of transaction, and paths to treatment rooms.
- The design sought to improve the personal and emotional outlook of both patient and staff, elevating their overall sense of well-being.
