Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake during which 11 hospitals were damaged, California passed a law requiring higher seismic standards established by the Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD) and the California Building Code. Meeting the most stringent of these criteria, Marian Regional Medical Center built a new $210 million, four-story acute care facility.
