    History of Craig: From Tuberculosis to Spinal Cord Injury

    In the first episode of our "History of Craig" series, we looked at Craig's early days and focused on the man who founded it all - Frank Craig. In this episode, we pick up where we left off and dive into Craig's origins. We go from 1914, the year of Frank Craig's passing, up to 1954 and the real start of the Craig we know today. While the focus was still on tuberculosis up until 1954, those in-between years were incredibly important to ensuring Craig could survive as a non-profit institution. We go through newspaper clippings, letters and a few photos to catch up on what happened during this time period – we promise it's anything but boring!------------------Craig Hospital in Denver, Colorado, is a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital that specializes exclusively in the neurorehabilitation and research of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and brain injury (BI).

    We all learned during new hire orientation that Craig Hospital traces its roots back to Frank Craig, who established a tuberculosis colony in Colorado in the early 1900s. You may have also seen his black-and-white photo in the 1W corridor on our history wall. But do you know anything else about him and the founding of our hospital?It turns out, not so surprisingly, that Craig Hospital was founded by one really impressive person, who might possibly have moonlighted as a comedian in his free time when he wasn't devoting his energy to helping tuberculosis patients – a disease he also had and eventually died from.
