About Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children

Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children (RMHC) is a regional resource for specialty pediatric care founded in 1977 by private practice pediatric specialists at HealthONE’s Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver. Today, RMHC provides trusted care from within six HealthONE facilities throughout the Denver metro area and in specialty pediatric outreach centers in Douglas County, Colo., Broomfield, Colo., and Casper, Wyo. The Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children campus at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center is home to the region’s largest and busiest neonatal intensive care. It is the only center in the region that offers both high-risk pregnancy care and neonatology on one campus — keeping mothers and babies together in the same hospital for optimal care.
