Trusted Pediatric Spine Program Announces New Name: HCA HealthONE Pediatric Scoliosis and Spine

Denver, CO, October 06, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Families across Denver and the Rocky Mountain region have long trusted the expert care provided by HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children’s. As part of its continued commitment to specialized care, the hospital is proud to introduce a new name for its scoliosis and spine services: HCA HealthONE Pediatric Scoliosis and Spine — a dedicated focus within the broader pediatric orthopedics team.

Led by board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic surgeon Jaren Riley, MD, the program offers advanced, personalized care for children with scoliosis and other spine conditions. Dr. Riley is a pioneer in pediatric orthopedics and was the first in the Rocky Mountain region to perform vertebral body tethering (VBT)—a groundbreaking treatment for scoliosis. The program also offers innovative options like magnetically controlled growth rods (MCGR) and spinal fusion surgery when needed.

“Our goal is to help kids grow strong and stay active,” said Dr. Riley. “We understand how overwhelming it can be for parents to choose a surgeon for their child’s spine care. That’s why we offer second opinion consults and work closely with families to provide evidence-based options tailored to each child’s needs.”

This update to the scoliosis and spine care at HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Pediatric Orthopedics further emphasizes the commitment to compassionate, expert care for children across the region. HCA HealthONE Pediatric Scoliosis and Spine continues to be a trusted resource for families seeking the highest level of pediatric spine care.
