ModSpace Delivers First Full-Service Dialysis Clinic in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Region
Toiyabe Indian Health Project strives to develop and maintain healthy individuals across seven federally recognized Indian tribes and two Indian communities in the Eastern Sierra Nevada region of California. But when an aging dialysis center in Bishop, CA was unable to meet the increasing demands of the region it was clear that a new, higher-capacity facility was needed on a limited budget.
MedBuild, the dedicated healthcare division of ModSpace, constructed a new dialysis center with 12 state-of-the-art stations to serve the community. Using MedBuild’s proprietary repeatable design, the modular provider was able to virtually eliminate the expensive design fees associated with traditional construction. This allowed Toiyabe Indian Health Project to fit a large, high-quality facility into a tight budget. And because modular construction is up to 50 percent faster than traditional building, the new dialysis clinic was able to see patients and start generating revenue much sooner than expected.
The 4,292 square-foot facility features a comfortable waiting room, washing station and treatment chairs, each with dedicated 22-inch LCD TVs. The floor plan allows the staff to see every patient from almost anywhere on the treatment floor. The centrally-located clinic manager’s office has large view windows that also contribute to the open atmosphere. A natural gas mechanical system was installed instead of electric heat to dramatically reduce monthly operating cost.
