Serving the Health Needs of our Rural Communities

Border Rural Health Community Hospital (BRHCH) has been thoughtfully designed to offer accessible medical care, including emergency and inpatient services, to the community of San Luis, Arizona. Currently, San Luis is home to a Medical Mall that provides outpatient and primary care services. The 45,335 sf hospital features an Emergency Department and an Inpatient Wing, but also includes Imaging, Lab, Pharmacy, and Dietary services. Administrative and educational spaces have been incorporated into the building's design to further support the hospital's mission and operations. The new hospital is strategically situated on a site directly next to the existing Medical Mall. Drawing inspiration from the position of the adjacent building, the hospital's exterior extends towards the Medical Mall. The administrative and classroom spaces are separated from the main building and connected with an interior corridor. This provides the effect of a separate administrative building, creates an outdoor courtyard, and allows staff to stay inside the building to get to and from the hospital. This design choice also creates opportunities to enjoy views of the outdoors from interior spaces. To shield staff, patients, and visitors from the heat, sun shading is incorporated into the outdoor spaces and areas with glazing, allowing for views of native plantings while maintaining a comfortable environment. This facility will provide essential medical services right at their doorstep, eliminating the need to travel long distances for quality healthcare. By addressing the healthcare needs of the local population in a convenient and accessible manner, the hospital will be able to improve the overall well-being and quality of life for residents in the region.
