Craig Hospital Breaks Ground on 86,000-Square-Feet Campus Expansion and $100 Million Hope & Homecomings Campaign
Craig Hospital officially broke ground on its transformative 86,000 sf campus expansion.
The initiative will add more than 86,000 square feet to Craig’s campus in its East Building, expanding access to expert care and accelerating innovation in neurorehabilitation, ensuring that more people living with spinal cord and brain injuries can return home with strength, independence and hope.
Key priorities of the Hope & Homecomings Campaign include:
• Expanding inpatient care: Increasing capacity by 13-15% and serving patients sooner by adding at least 26 new patient rooms, including Craig’s first 12-room Neuromedical Unit
• Accelerating innovation: Adding 8,500 square feet dedicated to translational research and a new Human Movement Lab to integrate research into real-world therapies and expand Craig’s research capacity
• Grow and strengthen Craig’s holistic programs: Growing donor-funded, whole-person programs not covered by insurance, including Craig’s recreational therapy, horticultural therapy, community reintegration and adaptive transportation programs, and patient assistance
“Empowering lives is what we do at Craig Hospital, and the Hope & Homecomings campaign is part of that bold mission,” Craig Hospital President and CEO Jandel Allen-Davis, MD, said. “This initiative will enable Craig to serve more individuals across the country who are impacted by spinal cord and brain injury, care for them sooner, and bring advanced research and therapy to life.”
For patients and families, the impact of this expansion represents hope and possibility after injury.
“That’s why this groundbreaking means so much. It’s not just about buildings—it’s about creating more opportunities for people to rebuild their lives, to move forward with confidence, and to know they’re not alone,” Sherown Campbell, Craig Hospital patient, said.
Since fundraising began in October 2022, the Craig Hospital Foundation has already secured $64 million in philanthropic commitments.
“This work represents the unyielding determination of the Craig community to keep moving forward,” Jim Johnson, Hope & Homecomings Campaign Chair, said. “This is where more hope and homecomings truly begin to take shape as we mark the start of the next chapter in Craig Hospital’s legacy.”
The expansion is scheduled to be completed in 2028. Learn more at HopeAndHomecomings.org.
