JumpstartMD Medical Clinic: Project Profile

JumpstartMD, Northern California’s leading medically supervised weight-loss and wellness practice, opened its flagship center at One Embarcadero, San Francisco’s premier office and retail space and brought on Hilliard Architects to design the project. JumpstartMD helps members reshape their lives and achieve their personal health and weight loss goals, with a proven program based on eating real fresh food, individual biometrics, leading-edge research and physician supervision.

“JumpstartMD has helped more than 70,000 patients in the bay area” said Philippe Sanchez, President and CEO. “We are thrilled to bring our personalized approach to weight-loss and wellness to One Embarcadero in San Francisco and help many more lead happier, healthier lives.”

Philippe Sanchez, President and CEO and Dr. Sean Bourke, MD led the design by requesting a warm and inviting clinic opening onto a living room/waiting area. Exam rooms were designed with semi-translucent interior walls and sliding doors to allow for member privacy while allowing natural daylight to penetrate the entire suite, creating a welcoming yet private environment, encouraging members in their weight loss journey.

The medical clinic has been well received with patient numbers substantially ahead of all projections.
