Mike Utley

The Mike Utley Foundation has awarded a Grant of $110,000 to Craig Hospital in Englewood, CO for the construction of the Mike Utley Terrain Park. The grand opening of the park is scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, 2008.
U.S. News & World Report selected Craig Hospital as one of the top rehabilitation programs in America.

The terrain park will be Craig's newest physical therapy project. This unique outdoor training park will help hundreds of patients each year who are learning how to walk or control a wheelchair in a variety of outdoor terrains. The park will be named after one of Craig's more well-known graduates, Mike Utley. Craig Hospital stated "The Utley name and story in this park will offer added inspiration to our patients and families."
