Jackson Hole Hospital and Healthcare

Jackson Hole Hospital Offers World-Class Facilities

Jackson Hole is a health-centric community in the most fundamental of levels. People exercise outdoors regularly – although they call it playing – and often choose walking over driving. Due to Jackson Hole's isolated location, medical care providers in the valley offer comprehensive care. Outlying communities also rely on Jackson Hole's hospital and medical resources.

With a staff of over 100 physicians and providers representing nearly 30 medical specialties, St. Johns Medical Center is the only Jackson Hole hospital and serves the region by providing the following services: 24/7 emergency room staffed with board-certified emergency medicine physicians, same-day and overnight surgical services, imaging services (including ultrasound, CT and MRI), a wellness center, obesity surgery, plastic surgery, rehabilitation services, cardiology, oncology, home health services and more. They also operate St. John's Clinic at Teton Village and a Living Center caters to the social, medical and extracurricular needs of older patients.

Private practitioners add to Jackson Hole's wealth of medical resources including a travel medicine specialist, integrative medicine and more than a few alternative options including local nutritionists and naturopaths. Each fall, The Teton Wellness Festival brings together mind, body, spirit and earth for one of the largest education-based events in the Jackson Hole valley.

For those less intensive needs, massage therapists, spas and yoga studios abound. On the other hand, the remote location means that life-flight is available both into and out of Jackson Hole. Salt Lake City is under an hour away by jet.

But most people find the quality of life in Jackson Hole to be just what the doctor ordered. //
