GRU Presents the 44th Annual Ralph E. Hopkins Urology Seminar

Changes occur in medicine and urology on an almost daily basis, so it is imperative that the practicing urologist remains on the cutting edge. Urologists need to keep current on assessing, diagnosing, and treating urologic conditions in the clinical setting. This meeting will provide an update on urologic cancers, stone disease, urologic reconstruction, female urology, infertility, emerging surgical techniques, and general urology.

Jackson Hole’s Alpenhof Lodge truly reflects the warmth and comfort of a Austrian country inn.

Our 42 guest rooms are handsomely appointed with handcrafted Austrian furnishings. Some rooms have fireplaces and/or balconies; all have luxurious down comforters, and white thirsty towels. You will find a warmth and coziness in all the Alpenhof rooms which you will remember long after you leave.

“No other spot in the village has quite the Swiss-chalet flavor of this long-standing hostelry, which has a prize location just steps from the ski-resort tram. Four stories tall, with a pitched roof and flower boxes on the balconies, it offers an old-world atmosphere, as well as excellent comforts and service. The rooms feature crisp sheets, handcrafted Bavarian furnishings, and tiled bathrooms with big, soft towels. You can choose from two junior suites with wet bars and five Alpine rooms with fireplaces, and many rooms have balconies or decks. Economy rooms offer two doubles or one queen-size bed, while deluxe units are larger. The resident restaurant specializes in fondue, schnitzels and struedel.”
