The cases will be performed at the Steadman Philippon Surgery Center in Basalt, Colo., which features four operating rooms, a procedure room, a biologics lab, nine preoperative and postoperative rooms, and 14 recovery rooms. 

Vail, Colo.-based Steadman Clinic, Gainesville, Fla.-based Orthopedic Care Partners and Aspen Valley Hospital began a partnership in December 2020 to expand orthopedic services in the area.

The partnership has increased the hospital’s surgical volume and helped bolster cash reserves, allowing Aspen Valley to offer staff raises after freezing wages in 2020 due to the pandemic, according to the Aspen Times. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
