Aspen Valley Hospital is in formal discussions with The Steadman Clinic about the renowned orthopedic care provider absorbing OrthoAspen into its operations, AVH officials confirmed Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to Dave Ressler, CEO of Aspen Valley Hospital, discussion of this transition began early this year (pre-COVID-19) but took a more formal hold after AVH recently signed a letter of intent with The Steadman Clinic, starting negotiations on the specifics of making the clinic the leading orthopedic provider for the community and how AVH would work in partnership with them as a result.<\/p>\n

Ressler said AVH notified its OrthoAspen employees Friday of the planned transition, which he referred to as a beneficial move for the Aspen-area community.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly this year we started talking about what (it) might look like if we worked together for the benefit of the patients we serve in our community,\u201d Ressler said of The Steadman Clinic, which is known worldwide for its orthopedic services, research and work with professional athletes, \u201ctreating Team USA and the athlete in all of us,\u201d according to its website.<\/a><\/p>\n
