Delta, CO (September 2, 2025) – Delta Health is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Patrick Jon (PJ) Bevan, a highly trained orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist. Dr. Bevan brings with him not only world-class training and experience, but also a deep personal connection to the Western Slope of Colorado—having grown up in Vail.
Dr. Bevan completed his medical education at Western University of Health Sciences in Oregon. He went on to train at one of the nation’s top institutions, completing his Orthopedic Surgery residency at The Cleveland Clinic. He then pursued a prestigious Sports Medicine fellowship at the Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Southern California, where he also served as an Associate Team Physician for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Bevan to our team,” said Jonathan Cohee, MHA, OT, and Chief Executive Officer for Delta Health “He represents the best of both worlds—a Western Colorado connection and the kind of elite-level training that is typically only found in major metropolitan centers.”
“I love Orthopedics and Sports Medicine because it is a specialty devoted to keeping people active, improving and sustaining quality of life, and partnering with my patients to help them achieve their best musculoskeletal health,” said Dr. Bevan. “I have a subspecialty in ‘all things shoulder,’ and having been a shoulder surgery patient myself, I personally understand the road to recovery—whether it be through non-operative treatments or surgery when necessary.”
Dr. Bevan also brings a passion for rural healthcare, a calling he credits to his early years watching his father help build Vail’s rural health infrastructure from the ground up.
“As a rural general Orthopod, you have the privilege of literally treating your neighbors, their families, and caring for them as if they were your own,” Bevan said. “I love that I get the opportunity to help improve the lives of our community, which gets me to rise and shine every day.”
Dr. Bevan is excited to return to Western Colorado with his wife and best friend, Maggie. Together, they are raising two wonderful boys, Lincoln and Gordon, and are looking forward to becoming an active part of the Delta County community.
