Programs of Excellence and Research

An inspirational evening that helps Craig Hospital patients and their families Redefine Possible

Friday, February 27 at 5:30 p.m.

Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center

650 15th St., Denver, CO 80202

Dear PUSH Supporter,

Thank you for your interest in the 2015 PUSH, Craig Hospital’s annual gala event. The evening raises money to

support Craig Hospital’s Programs of Excellence, including therapeutic recreation, music therapy, return-to-work

programs, the PEAK adaptive wellness center, the award-winning Nurse Advice Line and more. These innovative

programs are vital to our patients’ success, yet not reimbursed by insurance companies.

Proceeds of the PUSH paddle auction support the Patient Assistance fund, which helps patients with minimal

income or inadequate insurance to travel with family members to and from Craig, purchase equipment like

wheelchairs and shower chairs, remodel homes for accessibility, train caregivers, pay mortgages and college tuition,

and meet other urgent needs.

PUSH funds also support Craig’s cutting-edge spinal cord and traumatic brain injury research.

Today, thousands of patients are leading better lives because of the medical care, rehabilitation services and research of Craig

Hospital. Thank you for your support of the programs that change the lives of our patients and their families.

Mike Fordyce

President and CEO
