San Juan County Hospital originally began in 1947 in a converted mining office with 16 beds that served all San Juan County (Utah). In 1960 the hospital was built at its present location and increased its capacity to 37 beds.

In 1988 the San Juan Health Services District was created as a special services district under the County's umbrella. In 2006 it became a 25 bed Critical Access Hospital and still provides healthcare to all of San Juan County (Utah) as well as parts of western Colorado, northern Arizona and New Mexico. San Juan Health Services District includes not only the hospital but a Birthing Center in Blanding and physician clinics in Blanding and Monticello. Additional space, current technology and remodeling have kept the physical facility and equipment current and capable of meeting today's healthcare needs.
