The Sophistication of a Major Medical Center in the Heart of a Friendly Mountain Town

As a designated Level III Trauma Center, Aspen Valley Health stands ready to help in case of an emergency. Our board-certified ER physicians are available 24/7, and their expertise along with a full scope of diagnostic capabilities ensure the best care when it is needed most.

Aspen Valley Health’s sophisticated suite of diagnostic imaging technology, including a digital network that allows immediate access to 40 off-site radiology specialists in Denver, is complemented by our around-the-clock, state-of-the-art laboratory that provides a broad scope of lab services that allow for rapid diagnosis, so effective treatment may begin as soon as possible.

There are 16 patient beds in the department, including five private exam rooms equipped with negative pressure technology to contain airborne infectious diseases, two critical care rooms and a large trauma room. A full-time hospitalist, board-certified in internal medicine and pediatrics, supports emergency physicians and other specialists with consultations and admissions.

Admission is done bedside at a time when medical attention and patient comfort is the first priority.

We are Prepared

A hospital-based ambulance service provides leading-edge pre-hospital care, and registered nursing staff have advanced training in trauma care. In the event transfer to another facility is required, an FAA-approved helipad is on the hospital campus.

Dr Blake did an excellent job treating my condition. I left knowing the cause and what I can do to prevent this from happening again. We will be sorry when he retires this September. Also the guided tour of the new entrance was appreciate...d. This is the best of old Aspen caring for a patient and not just running them in and out the door. Read More

My husband and I went to the ER because he was experiencing constant burping that kept him from sleeping. They treated him with respect, listened to all his struggles and took in his recent medical history. They figured it out and we w...ent home with medication to pick up at the pharmacy and started treatment. He is doing much better now. Read More
