When a friend suggested Jessica try watercolor painting, she didn’t expect it to become such an important part of her life.

“I was recovering from a spinal cord injury, and starting a brand new hobby was the last thing on my mind,” she says. “But painting actually became my lifeline.”

Jessica sustained a spinal cord injury on her 30th birthday after diving off a dock into shallow water at Clear Lake in northern Iowa. She immediately recognized she was paralyzed.

During her four months in SCI neurorehabilitation at Craig, Jessica focused on physical, occupational, recreational, art, horticultural and aquatic therapy, as well as adaptive driving.

Today, she is thriving back home in Iowa. Jessica continues to develop her watercolor art and now sells her notecards in boutiques and hospital gift shops across several states. She also renewed her nursing license and is working with vocational rehab to return to the profession she loves!

Did you know more than 65 million adults in the U.S. serve as family caregivers? Today, for National Caregivers Day, we're honoring the millions of people who selflessly care for loved ones after illness or injury.

Craig Research Scientist Stephanie Agtarap, Ph.D., led a donor-supported study at Craig that examined how prepared family caregivers feel when a loved one with moderate to severe TBI is ready to return home. Her findings helped her receive the NIDILRR Switzer Fellowship Award, which allowed her to extend this important work.

This research builds on the PATH-25 screening tool, created in 2020 by Craig rehabilitation nurses, Barbara Lutz and Michelle Camicia. PATH-25 helps families recognize concerns and better understand the caregiving responsibilities they may take on after discharge.

Last year, Drs. Agtarap and Lutz presented PATH‑25 research with other clinicians at the ARN 2025 Rehabilitation Nursing Conference.

Caregivers, this one is for you.

Caring for someone else takes strength, patience and heart. It also takes energy, and we know how rarely caregivers get time to recharge their own.

This April, Craig’s Adventure Program is hosting a caregiver retreat in Bentonville, Arkansas, designed to give you space to step away, reconnect with yourself and spend time with others who truly understand what caregiving can feel like.

📍 April 23 to 26
📍 Bentonville, Arkansas
👥 For caregivers only

Interested? Visit our Adventure Program page to learn more and sign up: https://craighospital.org/events/caregiver-retreat-2
