Palomar Medical Center Escondido Milestones in the News

Raymond Fox Discusses Center’s ‘Patient-First’ Architectural Approach

The first of three medical office buildings, all designed by Raymond Fox & Associates, being built on the Palomar Medical Center Escondido campus is complete. This achievement, part of the medical facility’s $110 million expansion, was highlighted by San Diego-area and health care industry publications.

“The floor plans put a priority on a ‘patient first’ thinking process. Ease of movement, short distances between spaces, patient privacy and a sense of ‘being cared for’ were the focus for the project. This includes exam rooms that allow for interactive experiences between patients, physicians and other providers and administrative areas for staff to communicate privately with patients,” RFA Principal Architect Raymond Fox said in a statement. 

The articles highlight the partnership between Palomar, Raymond Fox & Associates, interior design firm FS Design Group and contractor Align Builders in achieving medical office designs that prioritize efficiency and wellness.
