Clearly the initial response from physicians and care groups within the community indicated a strong need for the assessment. "The Wellness Rehabilitation Centre of St. Mary's General Hospital recognized that the services of medical driving assessments were void in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. We therefore responded to the emergent need in the community to develop a quality driving assessment tool to make our regions roads safer and minimize the burden on the individuals being tested. After researching the options available, St. Mary's General Hospital pursued the DriveABLE™ option as being the number one program of choice," stated LuAnn Skovsgaard, manager of the Wellness Centre.

DriveABLE™ is one of the premier assessment tools in the world for evaluating fitness-to-drive in medically impaired drivers. DriveABLE™ has proven to be an invaluable tool for physicians, healthcare professionals, licensing authorities and concerned individuals in making the difficult decision about fitness-to-drive when medical conditions may have made driving unsafe.
