"We are thrilled to be gold sponsors of the race," says Jeffrey Quelet, CPO, VP and managing practitioner of the Ability Hagerstown patient care center, "Ability works closely with both Total Rehab Care and the Washington County Hospital. We have been here in the community for 4 years. TRC has been doing the race for 3 years. My family, patients, friends, referral sources and therapists will all be there raising money for a good cause. It is what we do at Ability."
