About Hannah

Hannah Riley, MMS, MPH, is a physician assistant at Valley View’s Youth Recovery Center, where she provides comprehensive medical, psychiatric and clinical care for youth with co-occurring substance use and behavioral health disorders.

Hannah earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder, followed by a Master of Physician Assistant Studies and a Master of Public Health at Arcadia University in Pennsylvania.

At the Youth Recovery Center, Hannah’s focus includes medical intake and providing medication-assisted treatment for patients. She is passionate about using evidence-based, trauma-informed care to address substance use and the underlying factors that contribute to it.

“Our goal is to create a trusting, compassionate and stigma-free atmosphere that shows these young people what healthy relationships and a supportive environment can look like,” Hannah said. “A lot of substance use stems from coping with some form of abuse or deeply rooted trauma. It’s so important to find and address those root causes.”

Hannah brings a broad clinical background to this role, with experience in addiction medicine, emergency care and a variety of surgical specialties. She also has a personal connection to this work, as addiction and recovery have touched her family throughout her life.

“So often, adults we see with substance use disorders started struggling at a young age,” Hannah said. “I’m excited to work with kids and help them build healthy relationships and positive coping skills so that we can prevent these issues from getting worse.”

Outside of work, Hannah and her husband are avid rock climbers and outdoors enthusiasts. They look forward to building community with other like-minded families and raising their two children with a love of climbing.
