A neighbor of mine has asked me to help them research Spinal Injury Rehab

Centers in the United States. His son is 24 and was traveling from Davenport to

Des Moines last Friday when traffic came to a complete standstill on I80.

Because his car had just crested a hill, traffic behind him was unaware of the

stoppage and a semi crested the hill and was unable to stop. His son was life

flighted to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines and underwent surgery to rework his

T3/pin the vertebrae back in place? He has about 9 days of recovery left before

they move him on to a Spinal Rehab Facility. At this point the hosptial staff

is recommending Craig Hospital Spinal Cord Injury facility in Englewood, CO.

At this point I would like ask the following:

1. Has anyone on this list been involved with Craig's Hospital? If so, what

can you tell me about their facility, staff, outcomes?

2. Are there any other facilities that this family should be looking at for

Spinal Cord Injury Rehab? I think they would like to hear about Midwestern

locations, but they are open to going where the best results can be achieved.

Thank you,

Jim <///><

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN is only hours away from Iowa and has a CARF

accredited Spinal Cord program. Also, Sister Kenny Institute and Courage

Center in Minneapolis are good options. Wishing your neighbor's son a

speedy and hopefully complete recovery.

My response is just a personal one but I had a friend with very serious

spinal cord injuries and all the money in the world for the very best

medical care and he went to Craig. He received excellent care and made a

full recovery. My understanding is that it is indeed the best.

Craig in Denver, TIRR in Houston and Shepherd Center in Atlanta are all model

cord centers. I think he would get excellent care at any of those three.

Craig in Denver, TIRR in Houston and Shepherd Center in Atlanta are all model

cord centers. I think he would get excellent care at any of those three.

A neighbor of mine has asked me to help them research Spinal Injury

Rehab Centers in the United States. His son is 24 and was traveling from

Davenport to Des Moines last Friday when traffic came to a complete

standstill on I80. Because his car had just crested a hill, traffic

behind him was unaware of the stoppage and a semi crested the hill and

was unable to stop. His son was life flighted to Mercy Hospital in Des

Moines and underwent surgery to rework his T3/pin the vertebrae back in

place? He has about 9 days of recovery left before they move him on to a

Spinal Rehab Facility. At this point the hosptial staff is recommending

Craig Hospital Spinal Cord Injury facility in Englewood, CO.

At this point I would like ask the following:

1. Has anyone on this list been involved with Craig's Hospital? If so,

what can you tell me about their facility, staff, outcomes?

2. Are there any other facilities that this family should be looking at

for Spinal Cord Injury Rehab? I think they would like to hear about

Midwestern locations, but they are open to going where the best results

can be achieved.

Thank you,

Jim <///><

A neighbor of mine has asked me to help them research Spinal Injury

Rehab Centers in the United States. His son is 24 and was traveling from

Davenport to Des Moines last Friday when traffic came to a complete

standstill on I80. Because his car had just crested a hill, traffic

behind him was unaware of the stoppage and a semi crested the hill and

was unable to stop. His son was life flighted to Mercy Hospital in Des

Moines and underwent surgery to rework his T3/pin the vertebrae back in

place? He has about 9 days of recovery left before they move him on to a

Spinal Rehab Facility. At this point the hosptial staff is recommending

Craig Hospital Spinal Cord Injury facility in Englewood, CO.

At this point I would like ask the following:

1. Has anyone on this list been involved with Craig's Hospital? If so,

what can you tell me about their facility, staff, outcomes?

2. Are there any other facilities that this family should be looking at

for Spinal Cord Injury Rehab? I think they would like to hear about

Midwestern locations, but they are open to going where the best results

can be achieved.

Thank you,

As many have pointed out there are some top notch facilities that warrent

looking into. As a CARF surveyor, I would direct your friend to the CARF

website. Here they can find all CARF accredited spinal cord systems of care.

There are approximately 80. The reality is that all of these programs undergo

extensive review and need to meet very strict standards of care. A smaller,

less known program may be as effective as the " big " names. The key would be for

the family to tour and get a feel of the staff and philosphy of the program. Ask

about their outcome data and average length of stay. Ask the young man himself

if if would be more improtant to him to be closer to home and friends or in a

center far from home with bells and whistles. Each patient with a spinal cord

injury must be looked at as an individual with individual needs for optimal

recovery. All of those factors combined will make for the best outcome, not

necessarilty the facility with the most name recognition. Just my two cents
