“The kindness and generosity toward our son has been overwhelming. There is no greater gift for a person with disabilities than to be treated as an equal, one of the guys, a buddy. They have given our son an experience he’ll never forget…the kindest, most thoughtful people They constantly look for ways to include Tim.”

“We at Stryker Leesburg feel enormous pride watching these positive hardworking employees gain confidence in themselves, have a sense of accomplishment, and learn skills that can assist them socially and professionally. This program has become intertwined in our everyday life at Stryker Leesburg. Several friendships have been made with many smiles and hugs given. These employees provide meaningful work that is essential to our daily business success and we are grateful to be a part of this program. It is a privilege to support such a wonderful organization within our community. We also love to hear how much the employees love working for Stryker Leesburg.”

“We evaluated workloads of different positions and picked out specific tasks that were basic and repetitive, but also vitally important. These tasks turned out to be a perfect opportunity for our ECHO team to take over and perform. They are huge contributors to the success of our department. They are fast, efficient and take pride in what they do. ECHO frees up other team members’ time to contribute to the support of science. In addition to how great they work, they have such a positive energy, and are excited every day to contribute to our team. This is a great influence and addition to our group.”

“We have a strong focus on diversity and acceptance and this partnership ties in well with those goals. One of my goals is to do more with ECHO. I would love to expand the partnership locally; I am working with ECHO and Eurest to open more doors for growth. I fully support that and my boss does as well.”
