Juneau’s hospital gets $4M from feds to improve emergency department

The project will expand and renovate the south side of Bartlett Regional Hospital's emergency department with ventilation and electrical upgrades.

Congress recently passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill that the president signed into law late last month. Buried inside it was $4 million for improvements to the emergency department at Juneau’s Bartlett Regional Hospital.

“The primary objectives of the project are to improve patient access, to improve patient and staff safety and security, create more efficient and flexible space for ED operations, and to address emergency medicine best practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. “This will give us the flexibility to have more space available and set aside for behavioral health patients in the specifically,” he said.
