SCI & TBI specialty hospital · Englewood, CO

⭐ SCI Model SystemSCI specialty hospital

Craig Hospital is a federally designated SCI Model System in Englewood, Colorado, and one of the specialty rehabilitation hospitals that CMS does not assign a quality score. Widely regarded as one of the premier spinal-cord-injury rehabilitation hospitals in the United States.

💡
Why there is no 0-100 score here. The SCI.help rehab score is built from CMS Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility quality data. Program-exempt specialty hospitals like this one are not in that dataset, so scoring them against it would be inventing a number. They are included because leaving the country's best-known SCI hospitals out of a rehab finder would be worse. Compare scored facilities on the Colorado state page.

What this hospital is

  • Free-standing nonprofit hospital that treats only spinal cord injury and brain injury
  • 93 beds; on a typical day around 55 of its inpatients are spinal cord injury patients
  • Roughly 475 inpatients and 1,500 outpatients a year
  • CARF-accredited; ranked among U.S. News & World Report’s top-10 rehabilitation hospitals for 25+ consecutive years
  • Federally designated SCI Model System (Rocky Mountain Regional Spinal Injury System)

Three questions to ask

  • "How many spinal cord injury patients are on the unit right now?"
  • "Will my insurance cover an out-of-state admission here, and who negotiates that?" Specialty hospitals take patients from all over the country, and the answer is usually yes but needs work. See navigating health insurance.
  • "Will I leave with the right wheelchair ordered?"

The full list is in choosing an SCI rehab facility.
