Master Plan for the Peninsula Wellness Community Hub
An initiative of the Peninsula Health Care District
The Master Plan for a health and wellness hub represented a transformative initiative aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of older residents in the Peninsula Health Care District. This comprehensive project involved analyzing demographics, assessing the District's health needs, evaluating existing services, identifying gaps, and engaging stakeholders. Our goal was to lay the groundwork for developing an innovative and dynamic wellness hub that goes beyond traditional community centers.
Our focus was intergenerational engagement: addressing the specific needs of older adults while involving secondary audiences to create a holistic approach to community health. Through evidence-based Experience and Service Design, we adopted user-centered methods to develop services, optimize operational models, and plan physical infrastructure. We designed and prototyped tailored services and programs to foster a thriving, interconnected wellness ecosystem that supports residents' well-being throughout their lives. This document summarizes the collaborative work completed during the project's foundational phase.
This project was completed in collaboration with Alexis Denton, gerontological architect.
