History of Craig: From Tuberculosis to Spinal Cord Injury

In the first episode of our "History of Craig" series, we looked at Craig's early days and focused on the man who founded it all - Frank Craig. 

In this episode, we pick up where we left off and dive into Craig's origins. We go from 1914, the year of Frank Craig's passing, up to 1954 and the real start of the Craig we know today. While the focus was still on tuberculosis up until 1954, those in-between years were incredibly important to ensuring Craig could survive as a non-profit institution. We go through newspaper clippings, letters and a few photos to catch up on what happened during this time period – we promise it’s anything but boring!
