Craig Hospital: From Focus Comes Excellence
Craig Hospital in Denver, Colorado is a long term acute care and rehabilitation hospital that exclusively specializes in the neurorehabilitation and research of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Craig has treated more than 28,000 patients with SCI and TBI since 1956, and has treated more patients with SCI than any other single facility in the U.S. Craig is a national center of excellence, and each year patients and families from 47-50 U.S. states choose Craig for their rehabilitation and follow-up services.
Craig's spinal cord injury rehabilitation and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation and research programs are designated by the U.S. National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) as Model Systems Centers. Craig also houses the NIDRR TBI National Data and Statistical Center. Craig has been ranked in the Top Ten Rehabilitation Hospitals for 22 consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report and in 2011 was ranked as the #1 Rehabilitation Hospital in the U.S. by the the American Nurses Association (ANA) for achieving outstanding nursing quality, based on the nursing performance measures in ANA's National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators®.
Craig's functional patient outcomes are superior in comparison to virtually every regional and national average in the most important measures of rehabilitation effectiveness. On average, Craig "graduates" make greater functional gains during their initial treatment, are discharged home at higher rates, return to work or school in greater numbers, are more functionally independent, require less attendant care, have fewer rehospitalizations, have higher levels of community reintegration and satisfaction with life, and have higher earning power than their national peer group treated in other programs.
The success of our patients is due to their personal motivation, Craig's focused expertise and resources, a large patient mileu, remarkable longevity of staff and physicians, high staff to patient ratios, cutting edge equipment and technology, family inclusion, family services and on-site housing, and an overall upbeat culture of contagious caring, compassion, aggressive therapy, pride, and hope.
As a non-profit, long term acute care (LTAC), rehabilitation and research hospital, the Craig "family" is dedicated to delivering the highest quality of catastrophic injury rehabilitation and treatment available anywhere. Ask anyone who has ever been associated with Craig Hospital and you'll receive a consistant answer: Craig is a very special place.
