Congratulations to our youngest scholarship recipient of Fall 2016 session, Julia Palyok!

Yo Readers ! It’s been awhile. I had been really consumed with the end of my basketball season, end of my basketball life and the pursuit of a national championship.
As Team USA is finishing up its final round of training before heading down to Rio at the end of August, we are excited to present the U.S. Paralympic Men's and Women’s wheelchair basketball interviews to shed some light into the lives of some of the most incredible athletes and coaches in the world.
Many thanks to the National Wheelchair Basketball Association for helping coordinate the interviews for Team ABC and for letting us use photos of the athletes.
ABC Medical is the proud exclusive medical supply sponsor of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association.
We wish Team USA Best of Luck in Brazil!
