AHN North Fayette Health + Wellness Pavilion
The Design Team worked with AHN clinicians to create the AHN North Fayette Health + Wellness Pavilion and the Center for Reproductive Medicine aimed at providing thoughtful and dignified care for women throughout their entire fertility journey. The design enhances the patient experience, establishing a physical care pathway guiding individuals from their initial consultation through all fertility treatments. The design strategy establishes a distinct entry point, separate from obstetric patients, families, and those who are already pregnant.
The facility dismantles the barriers that deter patients from seeking essential behavioral healthcare services by integrating consultations and therapy sessions into routine wellness visits. Locating Behavioral Health Services adjacent to primary care physicians, complete with shared waiting areas and centralized registration, the design reduces the stigma of seeking mental health support. This inclusive approach empowers patients to proactively address their emotional well-being alongside their physical health and that of their families.
