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 contribute

d $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.

As warmer weather returns, many people look forward to spending more time outdoors and becoming more active.

Whether it’s walking, hiking, gardening or recreational sports, easing back into activity gradually can help reduce the risk of injury. Stretching, staying hydrated and listening to your body are simple ways to support safe movement.

If pain or discomfort is limiting your activity, Barrett’s orthopedic and rehabilitation teams are here to help. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call (406) 683-3060.

Talking about healthcare wishes may feel uncomfortable, but planning ahead can ease uncertainty and help families feel more prepared.

National Healthcare Decisions Day encourages individuals and families to discuss advance directives, treatment preferences and care goals with the people they trust and their healthcare providers.

These conversations can reduce stress and help ensure future care reflects what matters to you. To talk through these decisions with your primary care provider or Barrett’s Coordinated Care Team, call (406) 683-1188.

Before a provider can confirm a diagnosis or guide treatment, laboratory professionals are often already at work behind the scenes.

During Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, we recognize the skilled team members who perform the testing that helps providers diagnose conditions, monitor treatment and guide patient care.

Their expertise and attention to detail help ensure patients receive reliable information and timely answers.

Did you know most insurance plans cover an annual preventive physical? At Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, we encourage families to take advantage of this benefit by scheduling a comprehensive Well Child Check.

During this visit, our providers will complete your child’s standard well child exam, and we will also complete the sports physical portion as a complimentary addition. This allows us to provide a more thorough look at your child’s overall health while making sure they are ready and safe to participate in sports and activities.

It’s a simple way to check two important things off your list in one visit.

📞 Call our clinic at (406) 683-1188 to schedule your child’s appointment today.

Spring often brings a sense of renewal, but emotional energy doesn’t always return right away. After a long winter, many older adults may still feel tired, unmotivated, or disconnected.

Taking small steps toward connection and support can help rebuild emotional well-being at a comfortable pace.

Barrett Hospital & HealthCare’s Senior Life Solutions program provides support for older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

If someone you know is struggling, reaching out can make a difference.
