Frank Craig: Medical Visionary (Now You Know Bio)

One person can make a difference.

Frank M. Craig came to Colorado in 1903 seeking a cure for his tuberculosis. He died of the disease ten years later, having established the Brotherly Relief Colony, which he described as a ministry of love for destitute consumptives.

From the one tent he shared with a fellow TB sufferer, the Brotherly Relief Colony grew and changed and changed again. Today, Craig Hospital is a world renowned rehabilitation hospital. Frank Craig’s philosophy of independence, mutual respect, and determination are still making a difference in Colorado.

Frank Craig's story is the fifteenth title in the Now You Know Bio series from Filter Press.
