EP was privileged to be able to talk with its contacts in the accessible mobility industry when a United States Navy family's developmental pediatrician, Dr. Gretchen Meyer, contacted EP's CEO Joseph Valenzano to see whether EP might be able to facilitate the donation of a van to the family to help with mobility issues for the children.
