What differentiates Velocity Urgent Care from “run-of-the-mill” urgent care centers is its focus on what’s important to the patient. “We put patients first in everything we do,” said Alan Ayers, Chief Executive Officer. “We know today’s health care consumer is extremely busy and nobody has time to be sick, so our goal is to get you back to ‘life’ as quickly as possible.”

As a partner with Sentara Healthcare, Velocity Urgent Care works with primary care physicians, providing a copy of the patient’s chart with authorization, and maintains referral relationships with local specialists and facilities for patients who require a higher level of care. “The partnership between Velocity Urgent Care and Sentara Healthcare improves access, coordination, and affordability of care in Prince William County,” said Kathie Johnson, President of Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.

The Manassas Park Community Center is devoted to bringing quality programs to families. Our Preschool has been a staple program for years. We had the chance to sit with two of our Preschool teachers, Arely Angel and Ragan Rohland, to discuss key points about the program.

Angel has seven years of experience working at the Manassas Park Community Center. She has a CDA (Child Development Associate) certificate, along with over 50 college credits on Early Childhood Education. She is currently working towards her Associate’s Degree. Rohland has six years of experience in early childhood development. She began her career at the Community Center working in Kids Korner, which is a childcare option for parents as they take part in various classes. After a few months, she transitioned to the Preschool division while obtaining an Early Childhood Certificate and an Associate’s Degree. They participated in numerous continuing education opportunities to aid in the growth of our Preschool program.
