We all learned during new hire orientation that Craig Hospital traces its roots back to Frank Craig, who established a tuberculosis colony in Colorado in the early 1900s. You may have also seen his black-and-white photo in the 1W corridor on our history wall. But do you know anything else about him and the founding of our hospital?
It turns out, not so surprisingly, that Craig Hospital was founded by one really impressive person, who might possibly have moonlighted as a comedian in his free time when he wasn’t devoting his energy to helping tuberculosis patients – a disease he also had and eventually died from. We dug through hundreds of pages of photos, newspaper clippings and handwritten letters to bring the humble origins of our hospital to life…and it’s anything but dull!
