Facility

ARMC is a 456-bed county hospital. 90 of the total 456 hospital beds are behavioral health and 366 are hospital inpatient beds. The hospital building is located nine miles from the San Andreas and two miles from the San Jacinto active fault lines, the new center is designed to remain self-sufficient for a minimum of three days after an 8.3 magnitude earthquake. The facility uses a combination of elastomeric base isolators and hydraulic viscous dampers (similar to those used in an MX missile silo) to absorb the energy generated during a seismic event and to protect the building's structural integrity. The emergency department is a level I trauma center and consists of 15 observation rooms, 8 treatment rooms, 8 trauma rooms, and 3 law enforcement rooms. The hospital has a helicopter landing area, which is equipped to accommodate medivac and military helicopters. There is an outpatient building on the ARMC campus, which houses 109 examination rooms and 8 procedure rooms. The Arrowhead Regional Medical Center is the first facility in the U.S. to use filmless radiology hospital-wide. This system makes digital images, which are instantly available for viewing at multiple stations throughout the facility for faster and more accurate diagnosis. Graduate medical education
ARMC operates seven ACGME accredited residency programs that train newly graduated physicians in specialties such as family medicine, emergency medicine, surgery, radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, and psychiatry. Additionally there are four ACGME accredited fellowships in Emergency Medical Services,  
Maternal–fetal medicine, Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine and Surgical Critical Care. ARMC is the primary teaching hospital for the California University of Science and Medicine, School of Medicine, located adjacent to the hospital grounds. References
