UNMH North Valley Center for Family & Community Health
The UNMH North Valley Center for Family & Community Health serves as an example of the UNM Hospitals Clinic standards developed by FBT for community-based outpatient health centers. The floor plan efficiencies result in less waiting time for patients, increased staff productivity and reduced environmental impact.
The clinic features an open centralized nurse station, adjacent medication room and physicians’ team room that allows staff to monitor and serve patients more efficiently. This one-stop clinic also houses a radiology suite, pharmacy, blood lab and procedure room. The clinic’s organization employs the pod philosophy and allows physicians and nursing staff to work closely together, resulting in a small doctor’s office feel and a more intimate patient experience.
While meeting the community’s healthcare needs, the clinic also serves as a meeting space for the community. The parking lot is available for the farmers market and other activities during off-hours. In conjunction with the outdoor community areas, the community conference room is available for reservation, catering to a variety of community group activities.
