About ResortMed
ResortMed was founded by David Denton Davis MD in Vail,
Colorado in 2000. Dr Davis, who is a veteran Emergency
Medicine physician, identified there was a need for an
alternative to the local healthcare options- the hospital
emergency department and several urgent care centers.
Destination resort property managers welcomed the idea
of an Emergency Physician coming to their lodge or hotel
to provide routine, urgent and perhaps even emergency
medical care for ill or injured guests.
As one property manager stated, "ResortMed has
been able to offer on our site many of the hospital's
services without the hassle. ResortMed physicians
bring oxygen, pharmaceuticals, intravenous fluids, suturing
materials, as well as crutches and splinting materials
and devices. When these services are combined with
personal, competent, convenient, confidential, comprehensive
and cost effective medical care, the result is unbeatable.. As
far as my guests and I are concerned the ResortMed hotel/house
call has become the preferred option.
During ResortMed’s first year patients reaffirmed Dr. Davis'
original premise by saying "I was too sick to go to the hospital", "I
wasn't sick enough to go to the hospital", or "I had no
intention of going to the hospital ER, take a number, a seat and
wait." "Thank goodness for the house call service."
The following year Dr Davis added several more experienced physicians
and expanded to the winter and summer resorts of Aspen, Snowmass,
Keystone, Breckenridge and Copper Mountain, focusing, once again,
on the needs of similar destination resort properties, second homeowners
and visitors. The results have been the same.
Dr. Davis has been encouraged by some of the finer properties being
served by ResortMed, as well as several individual patients he has
cared for, to expand to South Florida and Southern California during
2005. During this process ResortMed will launch ResortMed
Elite, an exclusive VIP medical service that will provide subscribers
and their families priority care at their primary and second homes.
