The project will expand and renovate the south side of the emergency department and include ventilation and electrical upgrades.
Congress recently passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill that the president signed into law last weekend. Buried inside it was $4 million for improvements to the emergency department at Juneau’s Bartlett Regional Hospital.
“The primary objectives of the project are to improve patient access, to improve patient and staff safety and security, create more efficient and flexible space for ED operations, and to address emergency medicine best practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, requested the funding through a process that used to be known as earmarking. It’s now called “congressionally directed spending.” Juneau’s hospital upgrades are just one project out ofMurkowski said one of Alaska’s biggest challenges is “combating the mental health crisis.”“This will give us the flexibility to have more space available and set aside for behavioral health patients in the specifically,” he said.
