WEST ASHLEY AMBULATORY ORTHOPEDICS SURGERY CENTER PROJECT OVERVIEW
Charleston,SC ARCH 8920S19 XI CAO
This project will examine the premise that ambulatory care settings should be therapeutic, healthful and sustainable, patient family and staff centered, and provide efficient, effective and safe settings for delivering accessible services both today and in the future. At the same time, it will explore the larger potential role of healthcare settings to serve as positive public institutions and demonstrate the responsibility of all healthcare settings to not only treat health but also sustain and promote it for individuals, their communities and the earth.
