Vybe Urgent Care
Philadelphia, PA
A series of walk-in community-based urgent care centers are now open in Greater Philadelphia. Brawer Hauptman + Larkin developed a prototype that reflects the client’s mission to provide superior patient experience starting with the design of the facility. The goal for the patient to “feel better as soon as you walk in” led to the design of a waiting room that feels more like a comfortable lounge than a doctor’s office, featuring soft seating, a quiet area, a children’s area, a refreshment bar, and warm welcoming colors and materials. Curved surfaces and natural light wherever possible help to ease the patient’s anxiety in what could be a stressful situation. Several Vybe sites are open for business with others being planned.
