Steve Poutre

Steve was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg at age 15 (1979). After 15 months of chemotherapy, he was declared cancer free. Two years later he was diagnosed of leukemia. If all that wasn't enough, In 1998, he was on a second story deck when it collapsed. He ended up breaking his left leg in seven places. The doctors told his wife he probably never would walk again. Steve has never been one of those people who asks, "why me?" but rather, "where do I go from here?" He believes the total hands-free operation of the Omeo will change the lives of thousands. Steve recognizes that simple tasks people take for granted, will now be possible with the Omeo. He says, "Just think of carrying a glass of milk and a piece of pie, at the same time, from the kitchen to the dining room table... without help!" He is excited and looks forward to educating; demonstrating and exploring all the ways Omeo will enhance people's lives.

And, so, we soon realized we needed space where people could experience real life conditions in a safe and controlled environment. Thus, the "OTC" (Omeo Training Center) was born. We purchased 13 acres of land in Aiken, SC and built a 7,000 sq ft, ADA AirBnb with a private entrance, golf putting green, and ADA outdoor kitchen. As time progressed, we saw the need to expand other mobility products to widen our capability to help others with their mobility challenges. We now proudly offer the Zeen and Whill products. We now even have a drive in air conditioned show room!
