Staff Expertise, Stability, and Loyalty

Perhaps the most valuable benefit you will receive from Craig Hospital is the experience of working in a positive, supportive environment. We have over 600 employees and our success is due primarily to specialization and focused expertise, staff caring, and staff loyalty. Craig's President and Vice President of Operations average 27 years at Craig; physicians average 17 years at Craig; and professional treatment staff averages 8 years at Craig. This record of staff longevity is remarkable in today's marketplace, and the cultural and financial stability allows staff to maintain a single focus: to continually improve services and outcomes for patients, families, insurance carriers, and case managers. Patients and families report 100% good to excellent satisfaction with their Craig experience. Most of Craig's referrals come from former patients, families, insurance companies, and physicians from around the country.

Because the average length of stay for patients is two to three months, depending on the type and severity of the injury, our staff develops rewarding relationships with the patients and their families. In addition, more than 90% of our patients return home after their discharge from Craig Hospital, which is far above the national average. The satisfaction you will experience by helping patients (most of whom are 16-35 years of age) regain control of their lives is incomparable.

Colorado Lifestyle

The Colorado lifestyle is an added benefit. People from all over the country are attracted to Colorado for its healthy economy and easy access to the Rocky Mountains. Craig Hospital is just minutes away from all the opportunities of urban and mountain living and recreation, appealing to every taste and lifestyle. We boast an average of 300 sunny days and less than 15 inches of precipitation each year, making this an ideal climate for hiking, skiing, mountain biking, river rafting, and a variety of other outdoor activities. Craig Hospital is conveniently located in the southeast area of Denver at 3425 South Clarkson Street, two blocks north of HWY 285 (Hampden Avenue) and east of Broadway in Englewood, Colorado.
