Medical care in Jackson Hole has come a long way. At the turn of the 20th century, there was no doctor, no hospital and no access to either. Emergency cases had to be taken by wagon or sled over Teton Pass to the railroad twenty-five miles away, then by train to Idaho Falls. Not all of these patients survived the journey.
In 1916, that all changed with the construction of a log cabin they called St. John's Hospital. Originally, the hospital consisted of a small four-room building with an operating room, kitchen and two patient rooms. During the decades that followed, health care in Jackson Hole was enhanced with physical expansion of facilities, modern technology, and new services.
Several years ago, renovations at the original site transformed the original hospital into a professional office building (POB,) which is now used as office space for many hospital physicians and health care providers. The POB is also the location for our wellness facilities, the Jackson Hole Health Institute.
Our current hospital and nursing home reside in a facility located across the campus from the POB. With the help of an optional one percent sales tax approved by Teton County voters and $5 million from charitable contributions, the current facility was constructed in 1991 to enhance the hospital's effectiveness and provide advanced medical treatment to the Jackson community. The structures have changed, but the commitment to providing exceptional care continues.
