Chicago (Jan. 2013) – Opened in May 2012, Marian Regional Medical Center is one of the first California hospitals to use Chicago Metallic’s 1496 Seismic Perimeter Clip, as approved by California’s Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD). Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, California passed a law requiring higher seismic standards established by the OSHPD and the California Building Code. Meeting the most stringent of these criteria, Dignity Health built Marian Regional Medical Center, a new $210 million, four-story acute care facility.
