Our Story

3 Generations Of Family Operated Businesses

Salvatore Cracchiolo

Salvatore, the father of the Founder, Mr. Richard Crana, was born in Palermo, Sicily. He emigrated to the United Sates at the turn of the Twentieth Century as a Master ‘Ciabattino’ Cobbler. He completed several years of an extensive apprenticeship in an Italian Master Craftsman Guild. He then pioneered the creation of the first Orthotics under the guidance of Orthopedic Specialists of the day. As a Master Craftsman, Mr. Cracchiolo served as a source of inspiration and impetus for his son to continue on, taking the craft of his esteemed father into the wider modern field of prothestics and orthotics, which is known as Consolidated Medical, a leader in the field for over 40 years.

Richard Crana, Our Founder

Richard Crana, the founder & former CEO of Consolidated Medical was born in Brooklyn, NY. In his early years of life he served in World War ll aboard the U.S.S Hope hospital ship. After returning from his service, he set out on a path to help further serve people with disabilities and provide medical assistance. In 1974 he constructed the foundation of what Consolidated Medical is today. He had built the company with the greatest intentions of fulfilling the communities needs. In 1997, we lost such a well renowned man that we honor within the business everyday.

Douglas Crana, CEO

Doug, one of three sons, took full control of Consolidated Medical in 1992. From an early age, he devoted his entire life to the business and field. Not many can compare to having such a well sculpted background over an extended period of time. The immense knowledge and friendly personality Doug has to offer, is far more valuable than any business interaction. He has taken what his father had built and brought the business to new heights. Over the recent years, the company has grown tremendously becoming an exceptionally well known name in the industry.
