Aspen Daily News Staff Report
Chuck Frias, a local real estate broker, was appointed to the Aspen Valley Hospital board on Monday night.

Frias replaces John Jellinek, who resigned as treasurer of the board amid questions about his legal and business background.

The remaining board members — John Sarpa, Dr. Barry Mink, Dr. Mindy Nagle and Lee Schumacher — anointed Frias via a secret ballot. Frias received three votes and Peter Louras received one vote. Taylor Liebmann was the third finalist.

A total of six applicants volunteered for the position.
