Our Executive Team
Doug Durham RN
Founder ~ Chief Executive Officer
Doug has been an RN for more than 29 years. He found his niche in adult psych and substance abuse nursing and has worked in that field primarily for the last 28 years. He now works as the Georgia state Director of the Post-Acute Rehabilitation Division for Hanger Clinic and also works as the Regional Coordinator for Hanger Clinics peer visitor program. At age 3 he was diagnosed with Albright’s Syndrome, a brittle bone disease that caused him to break an arm or leg almost every time he fell down. He was hospitalized multiple times and his right leg was amputated above the knee at age 16, due to non-growth. Doug believes in Jesus as his Savior and believes that God is able to heal our disease and says that is why he is here, alive and healthy today. Wanting to give back to amputee community, Doug started Abled Amputees in 2013 with social media and the website. He strongly believes that physical and occupational therapy is a very important key to an amputees success.

Able is Abled Amputees of America's Mascot. He was named by our facebook community in the spring of 2013.
He enjoys making brief appearances on facebook educating the amputee community. He by know means likes to steal the show. He even gets a little embarrased when his picture is made, as you can see in this photo.
Able is an amputee himself, having no arms or legs. But that doesn't seem to slow him down one bit!
