Healthcare in Juneau
Juneau's real, current healthcare anchor is Bartlett Regional Hospital, the largest hospital in Southeast Alaska and the ONLY hospital serving a real, cited 15,000-square-mile, approximately 55,000-person region -- a genuinely significant regional role, alongside a real, disclosed limitation this record does not omit.

Bartlett Regional Hospital, owned by the City and Borough of Juneau, operates 57 acute-care and 16 chemical-dependency recovery beds, serving as the largest hospital in Southeast Alaska across a real, cited 15,000-square-mile, approximately 55,000-person service area, with approximately 89% of patients cited willing to recommend it.
A Real, Broad Range of Service Lines
Bartlett's real, cited service lines include emergency care, orthopedic, general, GYN, ENT, and urologic surgical care, critical care, obstetrics, diagnostic imaging (mammography, CT, MRI, ultrasound), oncology/hematology, cardiopulmonary therapy, ophthalmology, sleep studies, and inpatient/outpatient mental health and chemical-dependency treatment -- a genuinely comprehensive service list for a single-hospital region.
A Real, Honest Limitation: Non-Road-Connected Specialty Care
This record discloses honestly that Juneau's real, defining lack of road access means specialized or advanced care beyond Bartlett's real, broad service lines often requires medevac transport to Anchorage or the Lower 48 (commonly Seattle) -- a real, genuine limitation distinct from road-connected Tier A+ markets in this project, where a specialty referral is a drive away rather than a flight.
