At Craig Hospital, we believe in empowering patients to fully participate in their program of care, from planning and scheduling to working hard to progress.
Students (patients) and their families come to Craig Hospital from around the country, and staying on track academically while retaining school ties is an important connection to their real world.
Reintegration into the community is the most commonly accepted outcome factor for successful rehabilitation.
At Craig, we believe therapy takes place inside and outside the hospital walls.
