We are delighted to welcome Melissa Freeman, ATP, CEAS to ATF Medical as Senior Rehabilitation Consultant.

Learn more about Melissa and email her hello at mfreeman@atfmedical.com.
ATF Medical will be exhibiting at the State Board of Workers’ Compensation Educational conference (aka the Georgia Work Comp Show) and we’d love to meet you there! The conference will be held August 25-28 at the Hotel at Avalon & Alpharetta Conference Center in Atlanta Georgia.
Visit Booth E-125 to find out how we “own” the whole durable medical equipment piece of your workers’ comp claim. We do it all – evaluate housing and DME needs, select and order the right equipment, educate and work with your injured worker and caregivers, and provide efficient adaptive housing solutions.
We specialize in catastrophic claims and our service will knock your socks off! Drop by our booth and we’ll give you a new pair.
The Maryland Workers’ Compensation Educational Association’s annual conference – known as MWCEA – will be held September 22-26 at the Clarion Resort in Ocean City, Maryland.
Meet us there to learn how we can staff all the durable medical equipment – including all the rehab technology, mobility equipment and adaptive housing solutions – your claim needs. We provide comprehensive solutions for all your equipment needs. And, we don’t just deliver & drop; our specialists train injured workers on the benefits and use of each tool, maintain and repair equipment, and monitor its ongoing use. In short, we become the injured worker’s go-to for all things DME. It’s just another way we take work off your desk.
It’s all about creativity – DME and mobility solutions don’t have to cost an arm – or in this case – 2 legs. Check out this cool story about an innovative veterinary team that developed a mobility solution for box turtle.
