The Summit of Bettendorf is a WellSpire community for healthy living. They have partnered with WesleyLife and Genesis Health System to offer independent or assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, memory support, or long-term care. Located near many different amenities, residents can enjoy quick access to their friends, a rooftop lounge,  and more with just a stroll.

The WellSpire team designed the space in pristine, modern design, making sure to incorporate dramatic windows, dynamic architecture, and soft touches like the warmth of wood and plush textiles. These beautiful spaces, combined with an array of activities to engage residents support holistic health so that both family and community members can have peace of mind.

As the population of Lawrence, KS expanded, the main healthcare provider for the area, LMH Health, decided to expand their practice to offer additional outpatient care. Pulse Design Group and an extensive support team created a modern, airy space with large windows, neutral warm colors, and natural materials like wood and stone help visitors connect with nature. 

To support patient, community, and caregiver wellness, the design team also included a rooftop garden, a public outdoor therapy garden, and works by regional artists to reflect local charm. Today, the LMH Health Outpatient Facility offers ambulatory surgery, an orthopedic center, sport therapy and rehab, internal medicine, and plastic surgery services to support the surrounding community.

Designed by Moody Nolan and built by construction firm Powers and Sons, Friend Health wanted to establish a project that serves medically underserved areas within Chicago’s neighborhoods, particularly in the city’s South Side area.

The resulting Friend Family Health Center in the Woodlawn neighborhood is certified as a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides low-cost services to residents in need, regardless of insurance, financial status, or immigration status.

The center offers a full-service pharmacy, a locally owned healthy cafe, group classrooms, obstetrics + gynecology services, family medicine, pediatrics, and behavioral health. Plus, a mural on the exterior of the facility, designed by Rahmaan Statick Barnes, celebrates the history and diversity of the Woodlawn community.
