About HCA HealthONE Mountain Ridge

We are committed to bringing our patients the best healthcare services possible, all within ONE integrated network. Our hospital is known for providing exceptional emergency care and offers the North Metro Denver region's only Level 2 Trauma Center. Our birth center offers a home-like environment to welcome your baby, with the reassurance of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for newborns in need.

Why choose HCA HealthONE Mountain Ridge

For 40 years, we've been honored to care for the North Denver community.

Proof of our dedication to excellence is found in the positive reviews that we hear from patients who entrust us with their health. Now, we've expanded that care with a brand-new patient tower featuring 24 private rooms, advanced technology, and a more comfortable, healing environment. And additional renovations are underway to enhance your experience even more.
