Back in 2009, Craig, a senior preconstruction director, began overseeing the construction of the Bill Holmes Tower at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), now part of Rady Children’s Health. At the same time, Craig and his wife received devastating news: their 4-year-old son, Jackson, had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As Jackson received expert care at CHOC’s Hyundai Cancer Institute, Craig watched the new tower rise, finding comfort in sharing the hospital’s construction progress with his son and other patients. Watching the project develop as Jackson’s health improved helped Craig see their bright future ahead! As an animal lover with dogs at home, Jackson felt reassured by the hospital’s pet therapy program, and their frequent animal visits kept a smile on his face throughout treatment. After three years of treatment in and out of the hospital, Jackson triumphed over cancer and is now thriving. He recently celebrated his high school graduation and has ambitions to become a veterinarian. And Craig has moved along to his second CHOC project: a nine-story ambulatory tower set to open this summer.
