Craig Hospital Ventilator-Dependent and Weaning Programs
Craig Hospital has one of the most comprehensive programs in the country for individuals who are ventilator-dependent and their families. The program is for individuals on ventilators who plan to return home after rehabilitation. The goals of the program include medical stabilization, weaning from the ventilator when possible, and training the patient and family in home-care techniques and health management. For more information about Craig's ventilator program, please contact Lonnie Martinez at 303-789-8479 or at lmartinez@craighospital.org .
