A+H Perinatal Field Trip: Gastonia, NC

The Birthplace at CaroMont Health | November 21

This past Friday the Architecture + Health team had the privilege of travelling 2 hours north to Gastonia, North Carolina to visit The Birthplace at CaroMont Health designed by our very own Scott Rawlings and his partner Robby Aull, Principal at SSOE.

A tour lead by Jennifer Sciba, Director of Women and Children’s Health Services at CaroMont Health, included exploring the optimized patient rooms and the NICU with lots of focus on staying family centered and escaping from the machine-like birthing processes and clinical spaces of older facilities. It was such an amazing experience witnessing the importance of family-centered design, natural movement, and priority to support mothers and new families in this space.
