It is our pleasure to provide you with this annual report highlighting the many accomplishments of the Craig Hospital Foundation this past year.

We continue to set the bar for rehabilitation outcomes for those affected by catastrophic spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. We were recognized as a top ten rehab facility by U.S. News & World Report, as we have been for all of the years that the ratings have been published. Our patients and their families continue to rate their experience at Craig as outstanding, and for the third year in a row, we have been identified by our staff as a top workplace in Denver.

As a stand-alone, not-for-profit, Colorado-based and world-renowned rehabilitation hospital, we rely on your support to make this all happen.

Since our last annual report, there have been many changes at Craig. Under the leadership of the Craig Hospital Foundation, we are in the midst of a major capital campaign that will help us complete the expansion and renovation of our campus. We are also moving aggressively forward with our research partnerships and adapting and bringing in the most advanced technology in the world. We are all about taking a great place and making it even better.

But when I think about Craig, what always comes to the forefront of my thoughts is the stories. Patients and families facing life-changing accidents come to Craig to begin their journey of rebuilding and, in many cases, redefining their lives. At our annual PUSH Dinner we always take the time to highlight one of our graduates for their accomplishments by presenting them with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Inspiration Award. That being said, we as a staff see 70 to 80 inspirational stories every single day.

Your continued support of Craig Hospital provides needed funds for our patient and family financial assistance fund and the many programs Craig provides that are not reimbursed by insurance. But more importantly, your support is critical to our campus plan, and our growth and sustainability that will enable us to write more inspirational stories for years to come. And for that, I cannot thank you enough.

Mike Fordyce, President and CEO Craig Hospital

3 Message from Executive Director, Craig Hospital Foundation

During my career in philanthropy, I’ve been a part of many important projects and initiatives. But none have rivaled the Craig Hospital revitalization and expansion project that is currently underway. Walking through the halls, the sense of excitement and expectation is palpable. This project will truly redefine and enhance the Craig Hospital experience for our patients and staff.

While the Craig Hospital Foundation is tasked with meeting the capital needs of the hospital, our focus also remains on our patients and the programs that are at the heart of all we do. Our Redefining ROI Campaign goal of $68 million targets the money needed for the capital project while at the same time raises important dollars for hospital programs and patient assistance funds. We are pleased to have achieved a total of $49 million of our total campaign goal!

A campaign of this magnitude would not be possible without the support of donors like you. In fiscal year 2013, we had our most dramatic results ever. Our donors committed more than $22 million in new gifts and pledges to Craig Hospital. The impact this support will have on Craig patients and staff is immeasurable.

As we are entering the final years of our Redefining ROI campaign, we are pleased to have raised enough money to support the expansion portion of the project. But our work is far from over. We still need to raise the funds for the renovation of our existing West Building. We need $15 million to reach our ambitious capital goal and $4 million more to accomplish our program and patient assistance goals for the campaign period.

This annual report highlights just a few of the programs supported by foundation donors, and demonstrates how your gift has made a difference for individuals experiencing a spinal cord or traumatic brain injury. These are stories of involvement, innovation, inspiration and impact, all themes embodied by our Redefining ROI campaign. I’m sure you will be as moved by these stories as I am.

Each and every contribution we receive is important to our success, but due to space considerations, this report lists donors who gave $500 or more in fiscal year 2013. A full list of donors is available on our website, www.craighospital. org/foundation. Your assistance is vital to supporting the work of Craig Hospital.

Thank you for helping move us along the path. We look forward to a continued relationship with you!

The donor-funded program uses sport, recreation and leisure opportu- nities to re-engage patients and their families with life and meet important therapeutic goals.

“At Craig, rehab is more than just getting up and learning to get dressed and move in a chair,” says Tom Carr, director of Therapeutic Recreation. “To the staff at Craig, that does not equate to a full life. We are helping people return to the passions that define them or helping them discover new ways to enjoy their lives.”

8 Chris and Ashley Cochrane INVOLVEMENT 1907 Ambassador Circle awards grants to two hospital programs

The 1907 Ambassador Circle, a committee of young professionals who support Craig Hospital’s mission through fundraising and grant making, announced the winners of the 2013 grant program at an event on April 10 at Chloe Denver.

A $6,000 grant was awarded to Craig’s Family Housing department, which offers on-site housing to families of newly injured rehabilitation inpatients and outpatients returning for re-evaluation. One night a month, the department provides a volunteer-prepared family- style meal to patients and families staying in the Family Housing facility. The grant funds were used to pay for food costs, capital equipment in the Family Housing public kitchen, marketing materials to publicize the program and recruit volunteers and volunteer orientation materials. Volunteers Ray Hancock, Laura Moss, Austin Forakis and Lizzy Carlson from TEKsystems at the “Family Nights help foster a supportive family-like atmosphere, connect Craig alumni with first Family Night dinner in June. current patients, and engage volunteers in a meaningful activity, says Jessica Nurack, former staff member and volunteer. “The program is particularly effective in creating a supportive and hopeful atmosphere at a time when new inpatients and their families are facing the most demanding times of their lives.”

Volunteers from TEKsystems, an IT recruiting and staffing company, prepared and served the first family night in June. “TEKsystems values “paying it forward” and “giving back” and has made more of an effort in our local community,” says Laura Moss, senior recruiter with the company. “It was a great experience. Everyone at Craig was very helpful and the attendees were very friendly and appreciative.”

The Craig Interdisciplinary Committee to support the Disorders of Consciousness Taskforce received $3,000 to provide training and assist in implementation of the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) assessment tool. This tool will help Craig staff properly evaluate patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and assess their treatment needs.

“Due to the fact that these patients are minimally interactive, proper classification is not only important but also very difficult to ascertain,” says Nurack. “The use and implementation of the CRS-R, the most objective and quantifiable behavior assessment tool, will allow Craig to better interact with other brain injury rehabilitation programs.”

Founded in 2012, the 1907 Ambassador Circle is named for the year Frank Craig founded the tuberculosis tent colony that would later become the nationally-renowned rehabilitation center for individuals with spinal cord and brain injuries.

Members of the circle generally range in age from their early 20s to their late 40s. Members join the group by making a $200 minimum contribution to the 1907 Ambassador Circle Grant Fund. Members also engage in fundraising efforts and networking events to have fun and build the fund. In the spring of each year, Craig Hospital departments submit proposals to the 1907 Ambassador Circle for various projects. Members then review the proposals and collectively choose which project to fund. One hundred percent of the Ambassador Circle funds raised throughout the year go to the awardee(s).

INNOVATION Neilsen Innovation Fund supports cutting-edge technology, programs

Craig Hospital has long been known for its innovative system of care that embraces new technologies and rehabilitation techniques. A $500,000 grant from the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation will allow Craig to continue to stay on the cutting edge.

The Craig H. Neilsen Innovation Fund was established in July 2013 to support new technologies and programs that promote independence and quality of life for individuals living with spinal cord injury. Decisions about ideas to be supported by these funds are determined by the hospital’s Senior Leadership team. High Tech Van Exterior Craig’s Adaptive Transportation Program was the first program to benefit from the Innovation Fund. This program educates patients about their independent driving options and helps graduates return to the road.

High school patients who are recov- ering from a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury have a unique concern: homework. Keeping up with their schoolwork, at least in one class, can help youths feel connected to their lives and on track with their plans. For approximately 15 years, the donor-funded Craig Hospital School Program has helped high school students with their studies while they’re in the hospital rehabil- itating.

Craig’s teacher, Laura Magnuson, meets with students and their fam- ilies, school counselors, teachers

and administrators.

Outreach clinics serve out-of-area grads

Outpatient reevaluations are a valuable extension of Craig Hospital’s inpatient rehabilitation program. Patients with spinal cord injury require regular follow-up for maximum health, prevention of complications, and long-term management of costs. Craig Hospital has held outreach clinics since 1980, in a few regional cities with large Craig grad populations, to ensure outpatients with spinal cord injuries receive necessary follow-up care.

“In a world where healthcare is shrinking, the ability of these clinics to provide services to the spinal cord injury community is invaluable,” said Becky Knowles, Craig Hospital’s outpatient clinical care management Social Security/resource coordinator.

Originally a grant funded program, the outreach clinics became a vital resource for Craig The three clinics are organized grads that may not be able to make it back to the Denver area for a reevaluation.

32 The Craig Hospital Expansion and Revitalization Project: An investment in the future for Craig patients

In 2013, Craig Hospital began a major campus expansion and revitalization project that will bring the quality of its physical facilities in line with the world class staff, patient outcomes, and the high quality of care Craig provides to its catastrophically-injured patients and their families. Over the next three years, Craig will add approximately 85,000 square feet of new space, renovate approximately 135,000 square feet of existing space in its West Building, and connect the West and East buildings to create a unified campus with a cul-de-sac main entrance and an accessible garden plaza area.

On May 23, Craig hosted a Groundbreaking Celebration street party attended by more than 400 members of the Craig “family.” Guests included Craig patients; families; patient alumni; staff; Englewood’s Mayor Penn; Jamie Van Leeuwen, Deputy Chief of Staff, Office of John W. Hickenlooper; and Cherry Hills’ Mayor Tisdale. Dan May and Bill Lindsay represented the Craig Hospital Board of Directors, and the Craig Foundation Board was represented by Chair Mary Sissel.

Mike Fordyce, president and CEO presided over the celebration. Featured speakers Craig Hospital Groundbreaking May 2013 included Dave and Gail Liniger, founders of RE/MAX International, and some of Craig’s oldest and newest patients and staff, including George Congrave, former DU hockey star of the 1950s.

The Craig Hospital and GE Johnson Construction Company families gathered again on Oct. 10 to celebrate the second major project milestone, the placement of the final piece of structural steel. The Topping Out Party included top hats and lunch with several “topping” options to go along with the theme.

The new addition housing the PEAK Center, some patient rooms and offices, is expected to open in August 2014. Attention will then turn to interior finishes for the new fourth floor and full renovation of existing floors one through three in the West building.

The entire project is expected to be completed in September 2016.
