Under its original name, St. John’s Hospital became a Wyoming Hospital Tax District in November 1975. The Teton County Hospital District, now dba St. John’s Health, was created to ensure local healthcare for county residents would be available. In fact, the Hospital District shares the same geographic boundaries as Teton County, WY. SJH is able to provide essential medical care to patients regardless of their ability to pay because of the property tax support received. The Tax District bylaws require that St. John’s Health is governed by an elected Board of Trustees, all of whom must be residents of Teton County. Due to its rural location and breadth of services, SJH has an extensive secondary service area, including neighboring counties in Wyoming and Idaho. Furthermore, due to its location in an international tourism destination, SJH provides medical care to patients from around the world who become ill or injured while visiting Jackson Hole. Nevertheless, SJH’s primary community remains Teton County, WY.
You can trust that the care received from St. John’s Health places value on health, safety, and privacy. St. John's Health takes a different approach to patient interaction than you would find in most health system districts. By focusing on patients rather than their condition, we can provide a holistic treatment that works to make you feel better, not just remedy your medical issues.
St. John’s Health consistently receives numerous awards recognizing the quality and excellence of its services. Both the health system and Sage Living (the memory care and skilled nursing facility) are 5-star rated by CMS. St. John’s Health is ranked in the 95th percentile in terms of patient satisfaction, and is the top rated health system in the State of Wyoming by U.S. News and World Report. Newsweek recently named St. John’s Health one of the top 400 hospitals in the U.S. and was the top rated health system in the nation of 100 beds or smaller by Newsweek.

The same requirements for admission are applied to all, and persons are assigned within the facility without regard to age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, language, physical or mental disability, socioeconomic status, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression.
