The Martin Barrett Hospital opened in 1923; the result of generous bequeaths by community members Martin Barrett, Joseph Shineberger, and Margaret Roe. The original hospital was a three-story brick building with 12 single patient rooms and four wards. Staff dormitory rooms were on the third floor. Expenses for the first six months of operation were $5,760.10. Receipts were $3,335.80. Appropriate for the times, room charges ranged from $4.00 to $6.00 per day. In 1971, a new hospital was built and the Martin Barrett Hospital closed. Early on, the financial stability of the new Barrett Memorial Hospital was a priority. Brim Healthcare In 1975 the hospital contracted with Brim Healthcare, Inc. for management services, beginning a long-term relationship. In 1992 the hospital was remodeled and expanded to accommodate growth in outpatient services. The hospital is licensed for 31 beds, and operates at 21 beds and 10 swing beds. In June 1998, Barrett Hospital & HealthCare hosted a community open house celebrating "75 Years of Quality Healthcare Close to Home." Barrett Hospital & HealthCare Today Barrett Hospital & HealthCare is a critical access hospital licensed for 20 beds by the Montana State Department of Public Health & Human Services. Barrett Hospital has been committed to providing quality healthcare services for over 80 years to residents and visitors throughout Southwestern Montana! |
