Health and wellness and the associated business opportunities present an economic development tool for our community, as evidenced recently by the town of Vail's pursuit of a partnership with the Vail Valley Medical Center and the Steadman Clinic.
Regardless of politics or any specifics on that particular project, health and wellness are big business in the Vail Valley and they show no sign of going away.
The Vail Valley Partnership, at the direction of the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council, led the solicitation for a brand research study back in 2007. That process resulted in the selection of Reach Advisors and James Chung.
The research conducted by Reach Advisors helped focus Vail, and later other entities within the Vail Valley, to focus on health and wellness as a “pillar” of economic growth and a point of differentiation amongst our competitive set of mountain communities. This was further cemented as an important component of our economy in 2011 as part of the Eagle County Economic Development Plan.
Health and wellness have also been highlighted in the Colorado Blueprint as one of 15 business segments targeted for focus in our statewide economic development efforts. The Colorado Blueprint is the state of Colorado's economic development plan as developed by the state Office of Economic Development and International Trade.
Health and wellness, while a somewhat vague term, present an opportunity to our community due to our natural infrastructure and our already existing base of business entities. After all, Vail, and the entire Vail Valley, is home to a variety of successful organizations in the health and wellness field.
The good news for the Vail Valley is that health and wellness have a natural tie to our recreational benefits and our tourism industry. And we can work together to enhance our destination as a group and meeting location to target more continuing medical education programs and other medical meetings by promoting our health and wellness infrastructure and by working together.
The Vail Valley Partnership has long been involved in tourism promotion of the Vail Valley. Our group sales efforts in 2011 resulted in over 14,500-plus room nights generated, lodging revenue of over $2.6 million and a direct economic impact of more than $10 million. The Partnership attends 30-plus tradeshows and events promoting the destination on an annual basis. A handful of these events specifically target medical meetings, continuing education and the health and wellness community — making the health and wellness focus a natural extension of our already successful efforts.
Stay tuned as the Partnership will soon be launching the Vail Valley Health and Wellness Initiative, which will serve as an online clearinghouse for all Vail Valley health and wellness activities and will provide a collaborative structure to this growing business segment. The Health and Wellness Initiative will allow the Vail Valley to build on our recreational base to expand our health/medical education focus, driving higher lodging occupancies and increasing the local collaboration in this important industry.
Interested in learning more? If you benefit from the Partnership's efforts to develop collaboration with health & wellness stakeholders or to drive additional medical meetings to the valley, contact Jeremy Rietmann at 970-477-4012 or via email at jrietmann@visitvailvalley.com
Chris Romer is executive director of the Vail Valley Partnership

Hansen Medical Names Joseph Guido as Vice President Marketing & Business Development - Yahoo Finance
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire -04/02/12)- Hansen Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: HNSN - News), a global leader in flexible robotics and the developer of robotic technology for accurate 3D control of catheter movement, today announced it has named veteran medical device sales and marketing executive Joe Guido Vice President Marketing and Business Development. Mr. Guido will report directly to President and Chief Executive Officer Bruce J Barclay.
Joe has more than 20 years of sales and marketing experience for a variety of medical device companies including Intuitive Surgical, Abbott Vascular Devices and Stryker Endoscopy, generating experience in cardiology, vascular and surgical markets. Throughout his career, Mr. Guido has excelled as a sales and marketing professional, capturing record sales growth through innovative strategies across the medical device industry.
"Joe is a proven leader with an outstanding career commercializing products in a breadth of markets, making him an excellent addition to the team," Barclay said. "Joe's track record of developing and executing successful global marketing strategies, launching new products, capturing market share in both established and emerging markets, and forging long-term partnerships with both hospitals and physicians, will prove invaluable to Hansen Medical. This will be particularly evident as we build on our EP business and pursue opportunities in the vascular market with the launch of our Magellan Robotic System in Europe and with the expected launch of that product in the U.S."
"I am excited to be joining the Hansen Medical team at this important inflection point in the Company's history," said Guido. "Flexible robotics in both vascular and EP applications has the potential to transform how interventional procedures are performed. I believe Hansen is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this opportunity with its compelling value proposition to hospitals, physicians and patients. In addition, the Company has developed a strong foundation for a focused and controlled launch strategy with an enhanced sales team, robust training and physician support in preparation for the expected launch of the Magellan System in the U.S. Further, I am excited to work with the team at this critical time in order to drive a successful go-to-market strategy and realize our position as an industry leader in flexible robotics."
Prior to joining Hansen Medical, Joe spent five years as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Novare Surgical Systems, Inc., a privately-held medical device company that developed innovative products for minimally invasive surgery. Previous to Novare, he was the Director of Global Strategic Marketing for Abbott Vascular Devices' vessel closure business, and Vice President of Global Marketing at Intuitive Surgical, a public medical device company specializing in surgical robotic systems. While at Intuitive, Mr. Guido led the marketing group while the organization experienced revenue growth of nearly 40% year-over-year. Joe also served 5 years at Stryker Endoscopy, a division of publically-traded Stryker Corporation, where he last operated as Director of Marketing, driving product strategy and business development efforts that generated over $150 million for the division.
About Hansen Medical, Inc.
Hansen Medical, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, develops products and technology using robotics for the accurate positioning, manipulation and control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The Company's Sensei® X Robotic Catheter System and Artisan Control Catheter were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping catheters in electrophysiology (EP) procedures. This robotic catheter system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. In the United States, the Sensei System is not approved for use in guiding ablation procedures; this use remains experimental. The U.S. product labeling therefore provides that the safety and effectiveness of the Sensei X System and Artisan Control Catheter for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), have not been established. In the European Union, the Sensei X System and Artisan Control Catheter are cleared for use during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of AF, and the Lynx® Robotic Ablation Catheter is cleared for the treatment of AF. The Company's Magellan™ Robotic System, NorthStar™ Robotic Catheter and related accessories, which are intended to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets in the peripheral vasculature and subsequently provide a conduit for manual placement of therapeutic devices, have undergone conformity assessment and CE marking and are commercially available in the European Union.
In the U.S., the Magellan™ Robotic System, the NorthStar™ Robotic Catheter and accessories are the subject of a current filing with the FDA and are not commercially available. Additional information can be found at www.hansenmedical.com.
