As a dedicated athlete, Riley is ready to dive back into the sports she loves.

Her journey took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, a diagnosis that changed how she trained, competed, and approached recovery. Through determination, hard work, and the support of the expert team at HCA HealthONE Sky Ridge International Center for Hip Preservation, Riley pushed through treatment and rehabilitation with one clear goal in mind: getting back to doing what she loves most.

Riley shares her treatment and recovery experience - from surgery through rehabilitation - and what it meant to return to competitive athletics. This moment in the pool reflects just how far she’s come, and her recovery has been nothing short of remarkable.

Two years ago, Meredith arrived at our sister hospital, HCA HealthONE Swedish, after a life-changing accident that involved broken bones and multiple skin and tissue grafts to save her leg. She wasn't sure if she would walk again. Today, she is back to her passion—and she’s using it to say "thank you" in the most incredible way.

At the recent Sanding Ovations Sand Sculpting Festival in Florida, Meredith unveiled a design titled "The Day I Lived." The sculpture features an angel sheltering three figures under her wing. Those figures are the likenesses of her HCA HealthONE care team: Dr. Benson Pulikkottil, Dr. Wade Smith and ICU Nurse Ally.

Meredith calls them her "true angels" who put her back together. While Meredith designed the piece, she is still regaining the physical ability to climb the high forms required for this scale of work, so the sculpting was executed by the talented Abe Waterman.

This arctic blast is serious — doctors are saying frostbite can set in within minutes when skin is exposed. Even quick trips outside can add up faster than you think.

A few easy ways to stay safe:
• Layer up and cover exposed skin (hands, ears, face especially) 🧤🧣
• Limit time outside when temps and wind chills are brutal
• Watch for numbness or pale/waxy skin — those can be early frostbite signs
• Bring pets inside and check on neighbors who may need help

Sometimes it’s hard to know where to turn when someone in your family is sick or hurt. Fever in the middle of the night? A possible broken bone from a slip on ice? Or something that just feels more serious than a regular cold? Knowing your options before an emergency can help you act quickly and confidently.

We partnered with Denver Mom Collective to put together a mom‑friendly guide to help you decide between:
- A freestanding emergency room
- A hospital ER
- An urgent care clinic
