Southshore Clinic

NorthStar had the privilege of working with the Executive Team of Lake County Indian Health Consortium to design their premier 24,000 square foot Southshore Clinic. From the beginning of the project the vision of the team at LCTH was to make this building a beacon for Clearlake that incorporated cultural elements and features of the Tribes of Lake County while providing much needed healthcare services to the south end of the lake.

The site chosen for the project required the footprint to be both compact and efficient. NorthStar was able to offer an idea for a building design that arranged the provider spaces in pods around a central bullpens. This design allows for greater efficiency as the patients are brought directly to their providers, and moving between exam rooms and medical offices is more seamless. The project also included design of a complex underground stormwater system.

The clinic is designed with 10 exam rooms and 2 treatment rooms in 4 pods on the first floor, and there are 10 dental operatories on the second floor. The project also includes a laboratory and pharmacy along with a flexible meeting and training room, that includes a teaching kitchen, along with a movable partition wall to accommodate smaller and larger groups.

This joint collaboration resulted in a beautiful building that truly enhances the community while also working to effectively serve the needs of the local area.

Construction began in September of 2020 and was completed in the Spring of 2022.
