ARMC is a regional hospital with 456 beds. Ninety of a total of 456 hospital beds are health behaviors and 366 hospital beds. The hospital building is nine miles from San Andreas and two miles from the active fault line San Jacinto, the new center is designed to remain self-contained for a minimum of three days after an 8.3 magnitude earthquake. This facility uses a combination of elastomeric base isolators and hydraulic viscous dampers (similar to those used in MX missile silos) to absorb the energy generated during seismic events and to protect the structural integrity of the building.
