Led by Dr. John C. Hughes, D.O., Aspen Integrated Medicine, Inc (dba Aspen Integrative Medicine) treats patients from Aspen, Vail, Denver, Grand Junction, Boulder, and around the United States with the latest evidence-based innovations in modern, alternative, and functional medical care.  Aspen Integrative Medicine exists as the only reputable clinic in the Roaring Fork Valley that provides regenerative, osteopathic, and integrative medical care.  At Aspen Integrative Medicine, patients receive advanced treatments, including adult stem cell therapy, platelet rich plasma, prolotherapy/prolozone, IV nutrition, osteopathic manual therapy, oral nutritional protocols, and general practice medicine, that help patients heal from musculoskeletal, degenerative, chronic debilitating disease, and painful conditions.  As these regenerative treatments have increased in popular demand, Aspen Integrative Medicine’s market share and revenue have substantially increased over the past five years and continue to grow.

The Roaring Fork Valley has a population of approximately 40,000 individuals.  Patients are a mix of local middleclass workers employed by the real estate, construction, hospitality, public service, ski, and outdoor recreation industry as well as VIP patients that include celebrities and corporate CEOs.  Aspen Integrative Medicine, through the specific medical services offered, profits by targeting cash paying VIP patients while also caring for the many local middleclass patients who spread the word locally around the Valley the benefits they receive from the practice. Aspen Integrative Medicine also has many professional relationships that drive business traffic. 

Many physicians have attempted to setup a profitable medical practice in the Roaring Fork Valley.  Very few of these physicians have succeeded in developing a consistently profitable medical practice.  The distinctive characteristics of the transient population in the Roaring Fork Valley along with variable insurance reimbursements creates a difficult landscape for consistent patient flow.  Opening a typical primary care medical clinic in the Roaring Fork Valley by a solitary physician is destined to fail without having exceptional and unique medical offerings.

With its proprietary and patented innovative medical protocols, procedures, and therapies, Aspen Integrative Medicine has positioned itself for long-term success in the Roaring Fork Valley – a place in which many clinics including a local orthopedic clinic have failed.  Through the connections developed over the past eleven years by Dr. Hughes, Aspen Integrative Medicine has effectively assimilated into the community of local and VIP patients.  These select patients, seeking the latest innovations in modern and natural medical care, consistently patronize Aspen Integrative Medicine, generating substantial and consistent long-term profits. 

Aspen Integrative Medicine largely sees cash patients due to the nature of the medical services provided.  Patients understand this model of business and many are glad to pay handsomely for the services provided for the following reasons:

1) Mainstream medical clinics in the Roaring Fork Valley do not have the training or expertise to offer these unique services provided by Aspen Integrative Medicine; 2) Patients are seeking out services provided by Aspen Integrative Medicine, such as nonsteroidal regenerative, interventional injection treatments, because they desire an alternative to the pain and suffering created by surgical options; 3) The practitioners at Aspen Integrative Medicine understand how to treat patients with conditions, such as chronic viral conditions or toxicity, for which mainstream medical clinics do not have skills or knowledge.
