Aspen Valley Hospital has been serving our community since 1891, when our forebears recognized the important role that healthcare plays in assuring a vibrant community and a desired quality of life. The tradition of service continues to this day, and it is our privilege to work with our fellow leaders to assure that AVH has a meaningful impact in the lives of those whom we serve.

In 2018, our community experienced one of the driest snow years in a century, and yet AVH remained extremely busy. This is a testimony to our diverse service offerings. AVH meets the various needs of our community throughout the mid and upper Roaring Fork Valley with a range of services from diagnostics to surgeries to a broad array of specialty care, including orthopedics. Our strategic collaboration with Hospital for Special Surgery, ranked #1 in the U.S. for orthopedics for the past nine years by U.S. News & World Report, will only continue to improve the musculoskeletal health of our community. In Basalt, we provide lower-cost alternatives at our Midvalley Imaging Center and Midvalley Surgery Center.

Starting in July, we will add a primary care practice in Aspen and Basalt, and later in November, we will move into our new Snowmass Medical Care clinic with year-round availability to serve the growing needs of Snowmass Village.

AVH will continue to innovate and adapt to our changing healthcare environment and the needs of our community and patients. We exist only for that purpose — to serve when and where we are needed. And, our talented and committed team of staff and physicians will be there when duty calls.

You can count on us to be there for you, just as we have been for over a century.

Although she was getting to know the Hospital from an inside perspective, she wasn’t in a hurry to transfer her healthcare from Denver to Aspen at first. However, as she learned more about the caliber of providers who made up the medical staff and witnessed their extraordinary care, she now wonders what took her so long.

Over the years, Nancy watched the hospital and medical staff grow. With each new specialist onboarded came a groundswell of pride knowing that expanded services enhanced the Hospital’s overall capabilities and allowed AVH to better serve our community.

He’s a freestyle skiing coach. He’s completed the Audi Power of Four Ski Mountaineering race. He even plays the piano. His coolness is contagious. You’re in good hands when he’s in the room.

He’s learned from some of the best in the business and has found many mentors along his journey. “I am grateful to everyone who has made this career path possible.”

He volunteers as a pianist (just another one of Justin’s talents) in the Cancer Center at Valley View Hospital. Following his graduation ceremony at CMC, he was approached by a woman in attendance. While a patient in the Cancer Center, she had heard Justin playing Debussy’s Clair de Lune on the piano, and she shared with him how much she appreciated the beautiful music. “That really hit me because normally, I just play for myself. It feels special to know that I was touching someone else’s life in such a powerful way.”
