"Small enough to care, large enough to heal"

The Mission of Aspen Valley Hospital is to deliver extraordinary healthcare in an environment of excellence, compassion and trust.

The Vision of AVH is to build upon our recognized quality and personalized care as a community medical center by delivering seamless and integrated medical services to our patients, in addition to providing specialized destination services, at a world-renowned and state-of-the-art facility.

Our Core Values are:

Patient Centered – We are passionate about patient care, creating positive impressions on a consistent basis and exceeding our patient’s expectations. We are vigilant about the little things that make a big difference.

Teamwork – We work collaboratively and create synergy that enhances the experiences of all involved. We seek to maximize everyone’s potential, commitment and creativity.

Respect for Others – We honor and value our colleagues and customers. We talk to people and listen to their ideas.

ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL (AVH) is a twenty-five bed community hospital that represents the best of two worlds — the warmth and friendliness of a small town, and the technical expertise of a major medical center. In fact, we received a national award in 2004 for "Exceeding Patient Expectations" from Avatar International, a leading research and consulting firm that administers our patient surveys.

Although orthopaedics and sports injuries are a primary focus of AVH, a full range of services is offered. AVH has board-certified specialists in 25 different fields of medicine.

Emergency Department with 100% of the physicians board-certified specialists in emergency medicine

Level III trauma center

Immediate-response ambulance system

FAA-approved helipad

Diagnostic Imaging Department with CT scanning, MRI, dedicated mammography equipment, nuclear medicine, state-of-the-art ultrasound, and a digital connection to Denver

Living in the Roaring Fork Valley

There are so many great reasons to live in the Roaring Fork Valley. You will find an outdoor paradise here. From fishing, skiing, mountain biking, camping or attending a world-renowned event, this valley has it all. However, as with any place, the Roaring Fork Valley has its drawbacks too. Probably the most important thing to understand is the relatively high cost of living. AVH recognizes this and as such compensation is higher than you will find in most facilities.

Housing

Aspen Valley Hospital owns several studio, one-bedroom; and two-bedroom units. These units are available at a heavily discounted rent for employees. The facility also offers these units to new employees as a means to temporarily (up to 90 days) assist with the transition into our community and locate a rental in the valley. Employees are entered in a lottery system for a 2-year lease. There are no pets or smoking allowed in AVH units.

The Aspen/Pitkin Housing office also administers a program for local residents. The Housing Office has an inventory of over 1400 rent-controlled units. www.aspenhousingoffice.com

Our valley is composed of a variety of other towns in which to live besides Aspen. About 90% of Aspen Valley Hospital’s employees live outside of town in areas such as Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale, and Glenwood Springs. The further away from Aspen, the more affordable housing becomes.
