Shrewsbury, MA – Margulies Perruzzi Architects has completed the design of ReadyMED™ by Fallon Clinic. Located in Shrewsbury, ReadyMED is the first physician-staffed, walk-in medical care clinic in Central Massachusetts to offer convenient, non-emergency medical services for adults, infants and children. A ribbon-cutting and open house were held at the clinic on August 4th. Construction management services were provided by Cutler Associates of Worcester.
The 5,000sf ReadyMED facility stands out from retail clinics in that physicians will be on the premises at all times, as well as advanced practitioners and other medical professionals. The facility also features X-ray and laboratory services on-site.
Focused on patient convenience, the design concept for the ReadyMED clinic aims to demystify the relationship between the patient and the healthcare provider. This is achieved using transparency throughout the space that creates a comfortable, attractive environment, while also maintaining patient privacy. Separate waiting rooms are provided for children and adults, and patients have access to wireless Internet in the waiting areas.
“With ReadyMED, Fallon Clinic has reconceived the entire walk-in medical care experience from start to finish,” said Marc Margulies, principal of Margulies Perruzzi Architects. “Our design team met this exciting challenge by discarding any pre-conceived notions of what a clinical environment should be. We worked from a blank slate to create the model for an exceptional walk-in medical care experience that sets the clinic’s cutting-edge clinical resources and tools within a pleasurable, efficient environment.”
