About Craig Hospital

Recognized as a Best Hospital for Rehabilitation by US News & World Report since 1990, Craig’s reputation has been earned by unique and impactful donor-funded programs. However innovative programs like Craig’s are not covered by insurance and would not exist without philanthropic support. Craig relies on generous donors to advance research, provide patient and family housing, and offer whole-person therapies that heal the mind, body and spirit.
