When to go to the emergency department

by Aspen Valley Hospital

July 30, 2016

Aspen Valley Hospital provides emergency care for serious illnesses and injuries at any hour of the day or night. Walk-in treatment is also available for minor ailments. Most illness and injury can be treated at Aspen Valley Hospital or the After Hours Medical Care Clinic in Basalt. However, in the event that a specialist not on our staff is needed, we have established relationships with tertiary facilities, and an FAA-approved helipad is onsite to help expedite transport.

Never hesitate to seek medical attention when you feel you need it. If you have any questions, you may call us directly at 970.544.1228.
