PEACOCK PARTNERSHIP PROVIDES PRO-BONO DESIGN SERVICES FOR HONDURAS WELLNESS CLINIC

Peacock Partnership provided pro-bono design services for a Wellness Center in Wasparani, Honduras that was dedicated in June 2011. Wasparani is located in the mountains to the east of Catacamas in the Honduran province of Olancho. Before the clinic opened, villagers had to travel nearly 3 hours to receive adequate medical care at the nearest facility in Las Delicias.  The 3100 SF building serves as facilities for Predisan medical teams in order to provide emergency, illness and preventative care. Additionally, the center can be used for spiritual, educational and community needs.

The project was funded through Third Lens Ministries in partnership with Predisan.  The people of Wasparani also invested significant resources in the construction of the Wellness Center. As part of their agreement with Third Lens, the village committed labor and materials for making 3,000 concrete blocks, work teams for laying the foundation and building the center’s exterior shell, food preparation for work teams and local freight for transportation of materials.

The clinic is managed by an auxiliary nurse and operated in coordination with a health committee chosen by the community. While preventive health care — such as vaccinations, well-baby checks and routine prenatal care — is provided free of charge, patients with illnesses are asked to pay a small fee designed to give value to the services provided, cultivate dignity in the individual, and to provide a small cash fund. The clinic’s health committee uses the cash fund to purchase medicines and maintain the clinic facility, which is owned by the community.

Peacock Partnership, Inc. is a full service design and construction firm with a primary focus on the healthcare industry.  We work under two divisions, Peacock Architects and Peacock Builders, offering stand-alone design and construction services respectively.  We also offer our clients the opportunity for a single-source of responsibility from start to finish of their project under the design-build approach.  Peacock Partnership offers a comprehensive range of services including master planning, architecture, interiors, graphics, facility consulting, general contracting, and construction management.

We know the healthcare business and understand the many facets that influence and drive the industry.   Peacock Architects was founded in 1988 by Dean Peacock to serve the healthcare community with critical insight that goes beyond the basic design solutions presented by many architectural firms.  He brings together design expertise and a critical business perspective to guide clients through strategic initiatives and capital development programs involving extensive facility requirements.  In 1998 Tim Watford, Principal of Design Services, joined the firm, bringing his unique perspective having served both as an architect at a leading healthcare design firm and as the Director of Facilities Development for a highly regarded healthcare system.  He brings this comprehensive experience with all aspects of facility design and construction management to his role as director of our design studio.  In 2009 we introduced Peacock Builders, allowing us to offer a seamless experience for the healthcare market, integrating the best design and construction services within the industry.

Because our firm is comprised of both designers and builders, we have the unique ability to assist our clients with every aspect of their projects, from initial facility consulting/planning through design and final construction.  We are dedicated to researching the latest technologies toward developing the most “state of the art” healthcare environments achievable in response to changing markets.  Our team provides personable, hands-on attention to each client we serve.

You'll see many things reflected in the projects we design and build. You'll see the people who work there and the clients they serve. You'll see the needs of today and goals for tomorrow. You'll see creative design solutions with an eye on beauty. What you'll see is a reflection of the client, not a reflection of the designer.

Our job is to take your vision and apply the most innovative design possible to make that vision a reality. Our job is to use today's budget to create flexibility for tomorrow. Our job is to work closely with you to evaluate your priorities and present options that go beyond the bounds of traditional thinking.

In the end, what you'll see in the projects we design and build is Client Satisfaction. It is now and always has been our foremost measure of success.
