Before his injury, Keith Fuicelli was building his career as an attorney, driven by a long-standing interest in advocacy and justice.

After sustaining a traumatic brain injury and waking from a coma, Keith transferred to Craig Hospital for neurorehabilitation. Recovery was long and uncertain, forcing him to confront self-doubt and the fear of losing the career he loved.

That experience reshaped his life and his work. Today, Keith supports others navigating injury and recovery with a deeper understanding of just how vulnerable that journey can feel. Giving back to Craig is now a meaningful part of his story.

After more than four decades of extraordinary service, Dana Polonsky, Vice President of Clinical Services and Risk Manager, recently celebrated her retirement from Craig Hospital.

Dana joined Craig in 1984 as a physical therapist and went on to shape nearly every aspect of our clinical and support services through her steady, thoughtful leadership, including more than 20 years as a vice president.

“It’s amazing how quickly 41 years go when you are in such an extraordinary place, surrounded by incredible and committed people. I began my career here as a PT in 1984 and have truly enjoyed every role and experience since,” Dana shares.

We are deeply grateful for her years of service and leadership, and we wish her all the very best in her well-earned retirement!

Day 3 of our highlights some of the amazing video stories shared this past year.

One video that deeply resonated featured Shawn, who came to Craig determined to regain independence after his injury. With the support of his care team and family, he embraced every part of his neurorehabilitation and explored new ways to reengage with life through Craig’s Adventure Program, including an adaptive hunting trip.

Now back home in San Antonio, Shawn shares that his goal was simple but powerful: to return to work, family life and fatherhood. Craig helped give him the tools to do just that.

Happy New Year! As we enter 2026, we’re looking back on moments and stories from the past year that created meaningful connection and engagement with our community as part of our .

On Day 1, we’re highlighting patient stories that truly resonated, including Marleen’s story.

After an ATV accident, Marleen was transferred to Craig Hospital for her neurorehabilitation. From the very beginning, her family made a promise to never leave her side. Thanks to donor-supported resources like the Craig Foundation’s Patient Assistance Fund, they did not have to.

From housing to meals, Craig was able to support not only Marleen, but also the people who meant the most to her.

“We wanted her to know that her family would always be by her side, supporting her every step of the way,” her mother, Lorena, shared.

Today, Marleen is home and getting stronger every day, with her family still right there, just as they promised.

Earlier this month, our Horticultural Therapy program brought a touch of spring to Craig with a Spring in Winter art exhibit. 🌱🎨

Featuring nature-inspired artwork from patients, families, staff, volunteers and grads, Spring in Winter reflected the innate connection between art and nature and served as a reminder that the new growth of spring is made possible by the dormancy of winter.

Thank you to everyone who shared their art and helped make this event so special.
