Bartlett Regional Hospital (BRH) is a hospital serving Juneau, Alaska, the capital city of Alaska and the largest city in Southeast Alaska.[1] The hospital is owned by the City and Borough of Juneau. BRH is the only hospital in Juneau, and provides the only emergency room in the city. In addition, BRH operates the adjacent Rainforest Recovery Center, an inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center.[2]
Bartlett Regional Hospital has 45 beds, and 76 doctors on staff.[3] The hospital is located at 3260 Hospital Drive, in the Twin Lakes area of Juneau, adjacent to Egan Drive.
History
Bartlett Regional Hospital was originally known as St. Ann's Hospital, and opened in 1886 in downtown Juneau. The hospital was run by the Sisters of Saint Anne until the 1960s. In 1965, control of the hospital was turned over to the City and Borough of Juneau, which built a new hospital on its current location in the Twin Lakes area.[4]
The current hospital was named for Edward Lewis "Bob" Bartlett, an Alaskan politician who served as Alaska's first United States Senator.[5]
