Hospital Building Data

Provides basic information for general acute care hospital buildings such as height, number of stories, the building code used to design the building, and the year it was completed. The data is sorted by counties and cities. Structural Performance Categories (SPC ratings) are also provided. SPC ratings range from 1 to 5 with SPC 1 assigned to buildings that may be at risk of collapse during a strong earthquake and SPC 5 assigned to buildings reasonably capable of providing services to the public following a strong earthquake. Where SPC ratings have not been confirmed by the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) yet, the rating index is followed by 's'. A URL for the building webpage in HCAI/OSHPD eServices Portal is also provided to view projects related to any building.
