Our Mission

Barrett Hospital & HealthCare provides compassionate care, healing, and health-improving service to all community members throughout life's journey. Our History

"There may be larger hospitals but there will be none better." ~Martin Barrett
In 1922, Martin Barrett built the main building of "Barrett Hospital" in Dillon for $100,000. Joseph Shineberger and Margaret Roe also contributed $50,000 to create an endowed fund. James Guild, the table linens were sewn by the Methodist Ladies Aid Society and the Methodist Sunday School furnished canned fruit, vegetables and jellies. Hospital garments were sewn by the Ladies of St. Rose and towels for the operating room were hemmed by the Presbyterian Ladies. Other community donors furnished rooms, provided specific pieces of equipment and contributed financially to the construction and furnishings. "

This is an accounting of the original Barrett Hospital grand opening in 1922, which is taken from "A History of Healthcare in Beaverhead County". This publication details the very first settlers to the county and the physicians who traveled through or set up in the Beaverhead, centennial, and Big Hole Valleys. The original Barrett Hospital served the community for 50 years, and a replacement facility was completed in 1972. It underwent several extensive renovations, additions and upgrades over the next 39 years. Today, Barrett Hospital & HealthCare has a modern facility completed in 2012, with a team of Physicians, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners, more than 40 nurses and more than 255 employees that provide services to more than 12,000 people in our service area.

Montana winters are no joke, and cold-related injuries can happen faster than you think. Protect yourself from frostbite and hypothermia by dressing in layers, covering exposed skin, staying dry, and taking frequent breaks from the cold. Watch for warning signs like numbness, shivering, confusion, or pale skin.

If symptoms worsen or don’t improve, seek medical care right away. Staying safe this winter starts with awareness.
