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.

Foot pain is easy to dismiss, especially when it comes and goes or feels manageable at first. Persistent issues like heel pain, bunions or nail concerns can worsen over time if left untreated.

Addressing symptoms early can help improve comfort, mobility and overall quality of life.

If something doesn’t feel right, care is available close to home. To schedule an appointment, call (406) 683-3060.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

“Am I just getting older?”

It’s a question many older adults ask themselves when experiencing changes in mood, energy, sleep, or interest in daily life. But sometimes, those changes may be signs of depression, anxiety, grief, or emotional stress — not simply aging.

If you or someone you love has been struggling with:
• Ongoing sadness
• Increased worry or anxiety
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
• Difficulty coping with life changes or grief

Please know: support is available, and you do not have to go through it alone.

At Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, our Senior Life Solutions program provides compassionate support for older adults navigating mental health challenges and life transitions.

Reaching out can make a difference. 💚

Joint pain can come and go, especially with everyday activity, past injuries or changes in routine. When pain becomes more consistent, limits movement or starts to interfere with daily life, it may be time to have it evaluated.

Noticing early signs like stiffness, swelling or reduced range of motion can help prevent symptoms from worsening over time.

If something doesn’t feel right, it may be worth starting a conversation with your provider.

💙 Nurses Week Spotlight 💙

At Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, our nurses are more than caregivers — they’re parents, adventurers, creators, and the heart of our community.

Today we’re celebrating Mariah Lombardi from Med/Surg, OB, and ED!

When Mariah isn’t caring for patients, she loves spending time with her husband and two boys. Whether it’s hiking, camping, fishing, or simply enjoying some peace and quiet with a good book, family and the outdoors are where she feels most at home. 🏕️🎣📚

Outside of nursing, Mariah also enjoys painting, crafting, fishing, and making memories with her children. 🎨✨

Her perfect day off?
Starting the morning with a good book and several cups of coffee, followed by a walk on the beach and soaking up the sunshine with tropical drinks in hand. ☕🌴☀️

Thank you, Mariah, for the compassion, flexibility, and dedication you bring to so many areas of patient care. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do for our patients and community! 💙

💙 Nurses Week Day 3 💙

This week, we’re continuing to celebrate the incredible nurses of Barrett Hospital & HealthCare by helping our community get to know the amazing people behind the care.

Today’s spotlight is Susie, LPN for Dr. Hansen in the clinic!

When Susie is off the clock, her favorite way to recharge is spending time with her fur babies. 🐾

Outside of nursing, she loves gardening and caring for her greenhouse — something that clearly reflects the same patience and care she brings to her patients every day. 🌱🌼

And if she had a full day with absolutely no responsibilities? You’d find her sitting out on her deck with a good book… or maybe two! 📚☀️

Thank you, Susie, for the kindness, dedication, and compassion you bring to our clinic and community. We are so grateful for everything you do! 💙

💙 It’s Nurses Week, and we’re continuing to celebrate the incredible nurses who make Barrett Hospital & HealthCare such a special place to receive care. 💙

Today we’re shining the spotlight on Ashley Shields, Program Director and RN for Senior Life Solutions!

Ashley spends her days supporting and caring for others, but when she’s off the clock, she enjoys slowing things down with a good book, listening to music, working on puzzles, and spending quality time with her family and pets. 📚🎶🐾

She’s also a fan of movie nights and loves attending rock concerts whenever she gets the chance! 🎸

If Ashley had a full day with zero responsibilities, she says she’d happily enjoy the quiet, get lost in an interesting book, and absolutely make time for a nap. Honestly… that sounds pretty perfect. 😊

Thank you, Ashley, for the compassion, leadership, and care you bring to our patients and community every day. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💙
