History:

From its beginnings a half-century ago, Barton Health’s commitment to the community has never wavered.

The people of this COMMUNITY envisioned a hospital and then built it with their time, energy, contributions, and commitment.

At times, the residents of Lake Tahoe literally put hammer to nail to create the FIRST-EVER health care facility in these splendid mountains. In doing so, they ensured a better future for themselves, their families, and future generations.

In 1960, when the Barton-Ledbetter family donated a tract of farmland to build a community hospital, they set the stage for everything that followed: 50 years of progress and pride, GROWTH and change, occasional setbacks, and incredible advances.

Through it all, the mission of Barton Health has remained steadfast: to deliver EXCEPTIONAL health care to our neighbors and visitors with compassion and integrity.
