January 2008

Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. recently received privileges to service Frederick Memorial Hospital in Frederick, Maryland. Ability's four patient care facilities currently provide comprehensive orthotic & prosthetic services to six hospitals in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The company is expected to announce service to three additional hospitals by the end of 2008.

"I am thrilled to have received my hospital privileges," says John P. Jacobs, CPO and managing practitioner of the Frederick, Maryland office of Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics, "This means a greater continuity of care for our patients. Many physicians and therapists were utilizing my services only for outpatients. Now they can get the same thorough, timely and efficient care for their inpatients."

Ability's staff has focused on providing seamless care to patients and referral sources in all of the communities served. In addition to providing direct clinical care to hospital inpatients, the company also provides educational presentations to hospital therapy, nursing, medical and surgical staff meetings throughout the year.
