Colorado health care providers were some of the first to success- fully embrace these trends and, although many elements are nec- essary for success, they also rec- ognized that real estate is a key component. By creating a growing network of facilities in previously underserved markets, they’re better serving a growing patient base and providing a comprehensive range of services. Four of these visionary providers are The Steadman Clinic and Vail- Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosur- gery, both world-renowned ortho- pedic clinics headquartered in Vail; Vail Health, a nonprofit community health system with 13 locations across Eagle and Summit counties, including a 56-bed hospital in Vail; and Aspen Valley Hospital, a 25-bed community hospital and network of care with multiple locations in the upper Roaring Fork Valley. During the past three decades, Vail Health, along with The Stead- man Clinic and its research arm Steadman Philippon Research Insti- tute and VSON, have co-located in ambulatory care facilities in Vail and Edwards to meet the grow- ing demand for rehabilitation and sports medicine services. The clin- ics, located near popular skiing destinations, have been instru- mental in meeting the needs of the region’s active resi- dents and visitors. Remedy Medical Properties (former- ly MBRE Health- care), the nation’s largest private owner and service provider of health care real estate, is currently develop- ing facilities in Dil- lon and Basalt. The first project is a new clinic in the high-growth Dillon market, about 32 miles east of Vail. The area was underserved for primary care, urgent care and other specialty ser- vices, requiring patients to travel 60 to 90 miles to Denver for medical care. In 2019, The Steadman Clinic, VSON and Vail Health commis- sioned Remedy and its in-house strategic planning unit Percival Health Advisors to research the feasibility of a new clinic in Dil- lon. Based on anticipated five-year growth in outpatient visits and skier patient volumes, Percival projected that a new clinic could support four operating rooms, plus space for two additional ORs to meet projected 2025 demand. Vail Health worked closely to align with the goals of three key indepen- dent physician practices: The Stead- man Clinic, VSON and Colorado Mountain Medical. The orthopedic groups wanted to grow in additional markets, and Vail Health was able to offer a large site in Dillon in a high- ly visible location. Vail Health began partnering with Colorado Mountain Medical in 2019 to offer primary care and specialty care services within the Vail Health system in Eagle County, and the Dillon clinic provided a new market for Colorado Mountain Medical’s services. The result of this collabora- tion will be the new three-story, 85,000-square-foot Dillon clinic, which is scheduled to be completed in the fall at 365 Dillon Ridge Road. The building will include primary and specialty care, urgent care, medical oncology, a breast center, imaging center, orthopedics, sports medicine and rehabilitation, and a joint-venture ambulatory surgery center. The project team includes architect Davis Partnership, which is headquartered in Denver, and the contractor is Minneapolis-based Adolfson & Peterson Construction. In a continuation of its expan- sion plans, The Steadman Clinic announced a new strategic partner- ship last September with Aspen Valley Hospital, Vail Health and Orthopedic Care Partners, the lead- ing partner for high-performing, patient-focused orthopedic surgery practices. This agreement enables the part- ners to deliver a full complement of unsurpassed orthopedic and sports medicine services, imaging, physical and occupational therapy, and a joint-venture ambulatory surgery center to the Roaring Fork Valley.
