The Longevity Project: Advancements in medicine
Residents of high-elevation mountain communities are living longer, healthier lives in part because high-quality care is closer to home than ever before.

As part of our annual “Longevity” series, The Aspen Times, Glenwood Springs Post Independent, Steamboat Pilot and Vail Daily are hosting a panel of inspiring people who have fought through adversity and continue to thrive in the mountains. Hear how they have fought off cancer, paralysis and blindness and continue to live a full, grateful life.
