Chief of Staff
Dr. Dylan Luyten brings two decades of emergency medicine and leadership experience to St. Vincent. In addition to being a board-certified emergency room physician, Dr. Luyten, who attended medical school at Tufts University in Boston, brings humility, optimism and pragmatism to his practice.
Dr. Luyten also identifies as a maximalist, a philosophy in which he works hard every day to bring the greatest value to his patients. “That doesn’t mean doing every test or procedure,” he says. “Rather, really asking how I can best add value: whether that’s diagnosis, treatment, comfort, education; you name it.”
This Boston-born healer grew up on the water and the beaches of Cape Cod, where his father was an oceanographer in idyllic Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Now, as a Colorado mountain biker and backcountry skier, Dr. Luyten’s lifelong love of the outdoors and the outdoor lifestyle played a big part in his relocation to Lake County. So did Leadville’s community fabric.
