From LDR to LDRP/ Putting Families First

When asked by St. Mary’s to redesign for a change in operational birthing concepts, MMA responded with an even more vigorous three week effort than the previous LDR (Labor, Delivery, Recovery) effort. The new design yielded greater program advantages than the original design including more square feet without a budget increase. MMA’s continued investigation and understanding of the issues facing St. Mary’s since the original three week master solutions exercise allowed MMA to sharpen their pencils and create an even better benefit for the dollar. The result is a state of the art LDRP (Labor, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum) Women’s and NICU Center that is destined to gain St. Mary’s a strategic marketplace advantage in those service lines.

“I’ve participated in hundreds of architect presentations to hospital boards, MMA’s presentation is the only one I can recall where the Committee and Physicians applauded upon conclusion ”
