UVA Health Outpatient Dialysis Clinics
UVA Health- Dialysis Clinics
Project Scope: The projects ranged from 6 treatment stations up to 25 treatment stations . Project locations are in the Virginia cities of: Altavista, Appomattox, Culpeper, Staunton, Waynesboro. All clinics were complicated renovations of existing retail and or medical clinic spaces. All clinics, except for the Culpeper clinic which was intended to provide ‘stop gap’ services until new clinic is constructed, have the specialty water treatment system installed that is required for Renal Dialysis. Clinic finishes were designed to be durable, fluid resistant, comfortable for extended patient care sessions. Special attention was given to passive acoustic control within the clinical space, at the request of the clinical staff, to mitigate ‘alarm fatigue’ and improve patient experience. Higher octave, frequent alarms are typical with the dialyzers during the treatment & self-sterilization process.
