💙 Big moment yesterday! 💙
We officially celebrated the grand opening of our new Teen Lounge at HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children’s.
Inspired by Ryan, a patient who courageously battled alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, this Teen Room was created with his vision at the heart of it all. While going through treatment, Ryan dreamed of something beyond medical care—a place where teens could feel like themselves. A space to connect, laugh, play games, and take a break from everything they’re facing.
Before he passed, Ryan worked closely with the Child Life team to help bring this vision to life, thoughtfully planning what this room could be for others just like him.
Today, because of Ryan and with the incredible support of our friends at Shea’s Village, RMCHF was able to make his dream a reality.
This Teen Lounge will be a place for connection, comfort, and a little bit of normalcy for kids when it’s needed most.
