Bridging the gap between intensive care and rehabilitation
At Craig Hospital, we know that timing is everything after a spinal cord or brain injury. For some patients, the road to recovery starts not with immediate rehabilitation, but with a critical period of stabilization. That’s where our new Neuromedical Unit (NMU) comes in.
Why the NMU Matters
Every year, thousands of people face life-changing injuries. Many are ready to begin rehabilitation right away. But others still need time to heal before they can safely participate in the intense therapies Craig is known for. Right now, these patients often spend weeks—or even months—in hospitals without Craig’s expertise in neurological injuries. This can lead to serious medical complications and delays in recovery.
The NMU is designed to change that.
Efficient Use of Medical Benefits
