(Denver, CO) Tom Clapper, husband of County Commissioner Patti Kay-Clapper remains in serious but stable condition after suffering a cardiac arrest in Aspen recently. Clapper, a candidate for Pitkin County Commissioner, was moved yesterday from University Hospital to Select Specialty Hospital in Denver for “aggressive neurologic and pulmonary physical rehabilitation.”
“Tommy has made some progress so far. We’re hopeful he’ll get the rehab he now needs for a full recovery,” said Clapper’s wife, County Commissioner Patti Kay-Clapper. “He has had lots of visits from close friends and that’s the best medicine of all,” Clapper said.
A Clapper Family Fund to help the family offset medical expenses has been set up at Alpine Bank, 600 E. Hopkins Ave. in Aspen. Cards may be sent to:
