Bartlett Regional Hospital was originally known as St. Ann's Hospital, and opened in 1886 in downtown Juneau. The hospital was run by the Sisters of Saint Ann until the 1960s. In 1965, control of the hospital was turned over to the City and Borough of Juneau, which built a new hospital on its current location in the Twin Lakes area.[4]
The current hospital was named for Edward Lewis "Bob" Bartlett, an Alaskan politician who served as Alaska's first United States Senator.[5]
