Good Samaritan Hospital – Weedpatch Clinics

The Weedpatch Clinics will provide integrated medical, mental health, and substance use treatment through two purpose-built modular facilities in Kern County. Funded through California’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), the project includes the Integrated Wellness Center, which brings multiple care services together in a single visit, and the Family Wellness Center, which focuses on women and children with primary care, OB/GYN, psychiatry, and medication-assisted treatment.

As project integrator for grantee Good Samaritan Hospital, EIR serves as owner’s representative, design manager, and construction manager, coordinating the project from feasibility through completion. Both clinics are being manufactured at Plant Prefab’s Kern County factory under EIR’s oversight and quality control, bringing the precision of factory construction to community-based healthcare.

The facilities will also incorporate Enlighted’s IoT building platform, a Siemens company, alongside EIR’s real-time location system (RTLS). Together, these technologies provide insight into room utilization and patient flow, connecting the physical environment with the operational needs of the care teams and patients it serves.

• 2 clinics, approximately 6,000 square feet each, designed to serve a combined 3,500 people annually.
• Medical, mental health, and substance use services brought together in community-based settings.
• Smart lighting and building controls, paired with EIR’s RTLS, provide real-time insight into room utilization and patient flow.

Factory fabrication is complete, with approximately 80% of the overall project built offsite. Site installation is the next phase.
