Not only does Virtual Ability have a vibrant, active community in Second Life^® (SL), there is a sim that Virtual Ability, Inc.^® owns, called Healthinfo Island. The displays are frequently updated, thanks to the efforts of community member Mook Wheeler, with themed interesting facts and information on different awareness topics.
