Short Summary
Together, we can build a better Craig Hospital--a Craig Hospital that echoes our values of being patient-centered, family-oriented, and on the cusp of new technologies for patients with spinal cord and traumatic brain injury. Today, we have the opportunity to collectively build a private consultation room in Craig Hospital's Outpatient Clinic. Our expanded Outpatient Clinic will:
- Double in size, increasing the capacity to serve our friends, family, neighbors,and colleagues. More people will be able to access our specialized services for people with brain and spinal cord injury, allowing us to serve the community better.
- Increase in quality of care as we build more private consultation and therapy spaces that allow for patients and families to rehabilitate together.
- Express the magnitude of what contributors will help you achieve.
Today, your gift will be doubled, up to $50,000, thanks to a dollar-for-dollar match from an anonymous donor who is a recipient of Craig Hospital's Outpatient Clinic Services.
What We Need & What You Get
Last year, we served over 1,400 outpatients with spinal cord and brain injury, including people who were at one point inpatients at Craig Hospital and those who were new from the community. Our wait list is growing, and we need to expand the clinic space in order to serve more patients and increase our quality of care. We need your help to do this!
- We need $50,000 to help expand the clinic, funding one of many individual treatment rooms! We're hoping to raise at least $25,000 through online donations, although we know you're a generous bunch and will push us over the top!
- Your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous anonymous donor, which means that we'll really be providing two rooms to outpatients at Craig Hospital!
- Check out our donation levels on the side! You don't want to miss out, you generous supporter, you!
- We're aiming high, but we know that we can get to $50,000 with your help. Donate today, and encourage your pals to do the same by sharing this site. Every dollar, regardless of whether we reach our goal, will go to helping outpatients at Craig through the clinic expansion.
The Impact
Your gift makes a difference for the 1,400+ people with spinal cord and brain injuries that access the Outpatient Clinic, their families and the Craig Hospital staff!
- We've been creative with our space to be able to increase our therapy hours in the outpatient clinic by 5,838 hours in the last year and averaging 74 more patients per month over the last three years. Your donation will ensure that we have the proper space to be able to meet each patient's needs.
- "Grateful" doesn't even begin to express how we feel about our community of Craig Hospital supporters--those who have made gifts year after year to empower our patients and the many who have recently joined the ranks. When you hear a need, you jump, and for that, we can't thank you enough. Your gift will not only make a tangible and visual impact on Craig Hospital, but it will go far in helping the 161 outpatients who enter our clinic weekly.
You've Met Ashlee, Meet Zack, another Craig Outpatient Clinic Client!
Zack came to Craig Hospital after sustaining a traumatic brain injury in 2014 in an automobile accident. While his journey started as an inpatient, where he learned to walk, talk, and eat, Zack transitioned to Outpatient Clinic Services, coming to the clinic for therapy weekly. So far, he has regained 20/20 vision through sight exercises, gained strength by working out at the PEAK Wellness Center, improved his sensory reactions, started to work toward getting his driver's license, and collaborated with the Community Reintegration at Craig to become job-ready.
According to Zack, "rehabilitation is not as much about me but about how much I love my family. I have the ability, with hard work, to be independent, and I strive daily to get there. I'm thankful to Craig Hospital for understanding me and motivating me to be my best self."
Zack and his brother, Tony, share more about Zack's work with the Outpatient Clinic!
