Achievements

ValleyOrtho Aspen

ValleyOrtho opened a new, centrally located office at 132 West Main Street, Suite A, Aspen. The office boasts double the space of its previous office, as well as more accessible parking, and a robust list of orthopedic services. “At ValleyOrtho, we are dedicated to putting our patients first and providing them with the most convenient and comprehensive care possible,” said Orthopedic Surgeon Tomas Pevny, MD of ValleyOrtho. “The new office gives our patients access to cuttingedge technologies and support services in a comfortable environment. Instead of patients having to travel and make multiple appointments, on-site X-rays and imaging allow us to diagnose and treat patients the same day.”

CALAWAY•YOUNG CANCER CENTER SERVING THE REGION

Alexandra Donovan, MD Oncologist and Hematologist

The Calaway•Young Cancer Center continued to evolve to meet the needs of the region in 2021. Partnerships with Aspen Valley Hospital and Grand River Health in Rifle brought the caring expertise of the Center’s oncologists to more conveniently serve patients in those communities. Alexandra Donovan, MD, MPH, joined the Center in November. Originally from Vail, she works as both an Oncologist and Hematologist, providing specialized care to patients with a broad spectrum of cancers and blood disorders.

To respond to the community’s needs, Valley View opened a new after hours urgent care in January. A solution between primary care and the hospital emergency room, this new service provides high quality patient care for a reasonable price. After Hours Urgent Care treats patients aged six months and older with non-emergent illnesses and injuries. If needs turn out to be more serious, Valley View’s emergency department is conveniently only a few steps away, and patients do not have to be transported by an ambulance.

MATERNAL AND INFANT CARE QUALITY CHAMPION

Valley View was recognized as a Maternal and Infant Care Quality Champion by the Colorado Perinatal Care Quality Collaborative (CPCQC). This designation signifies that the hospital has access to the most current data, best practices and resources available and is leading the way for the safest, healthiest outcomes for Colorado’s women and infants.

CARING FOR THOSE IN NEED

Valley View is proud to care for those in need in our community. In 2021, Valley View provided $13.7 million in charity care.
