Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic
Located at 223 N. Lime Street since the mid-1980s, the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic at the Sam and Dena Lombardo Health Pavilion has undergone $3.2 million of interior and exterior renovations.
The Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic was established in 1938 by Lancaster orthodontist Dr. Herbert K. Cooper on the first floor of his home. It is the oldest clinic in the world devoted to the comprehensive care of children born with cleft lips and palate and other craniofacial anomalies regardless of their ability to pay.
Today, it is one of three clinics in Pennsylvania that offer all aspects of cleft treatment. The extensive renovations doubled the number of patient treatment spaces reducing wait times for appointments.
Complete interior design services for this 60+ year-old building included assisting with the selection of interior and exterior building finishes, as well as coordinating paint, flooring, and lighting selections with the contractor. RLPS interior Designers also provided furniture selections and fabrics and supported delivery and installation.

Creating Harmonious Work and Treatment Spaces
Sound-reducing doors and walls installed in each private room help deafen noise. Inside the patient rooms, television monitors installed on the ceiling allow patients to watch their favorite shows to help them relax during treatment.
In the lower level, the staff lounge received an update of new soft seating. Sit-to-stand desks were also provided for staff members.
Cool, calming colors were used throughout the building, based upon the recommendations of a Feng Shui consultant.
Nature-themed photographs taken by local photographers and selected by the owner are hung throughout the office and help bring a sense of tranquility into the space.
Acoustic panel “clouds” suspended from the ceiling add visual interest as well as reduce noise.
A playhouse adds an enclosed space for children to feel comfortable while waiting for treatment.
