The Ponce de Leon Center is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive programs dedicated to the treatment of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS.
Located in an antiquated and disjointed 1960s building, in a neighborhood undergoing gentrification after years of decline, the renovation transforms the facility into a healing and patient-first environment.
Early intervention, better outcomes
When healthcare environments feel overwhelming, patients are less-likely to seek routine care. The center provides holistic care in a space that feels welcoming, rather than intimidating, helping to bring patients in the doors sooner, leading to earlier intervention and better treatment outcomes.
Keeping the existing building framework intact, the planning for the extensive renovation focused on creating a calm, comfortable and safe environment, which accommodates innovative technology, operational efficiency, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
