Oberle Institute

For individuals who have suffered traumatic injuries and their loved ones, the Oberle Institute at Saint Louis University provides a holistic treatment approach to help them thrive again.  

The Oberle Institute is the premier institute for innovating trauma care to ensure traumatically injured patients have an opportunity to thrive in the St. Louis community and around the world.

We serve:

  • Patients with traumatic injuries
  • Families of those with traumatic injuries
  • Health professionals and researchers interested in interprofessional trauma care and research
  • Industry and government leaders interested in improving care for injured employees and citizens

To ensure trauma patients achieve optimal post-traumatic growth, it is important to address several integral health-related constructs. Providing interdisciplinary, holistic, patient-centered care that promotes a positive quality of life, nurtures resilience and prepares a patient for a confident transition will empower a patient to thrive during recovery.  

Right now, we are just team of professionals volunteering time above normal job duties to meet with patients in the trauma department.  $300,000 would allow us to contract employees to expand our services full-time as opposed to 2-3 patients at a time as we're doing right now. We are using this crowdfunding platform as a launching pad towards that $300,000 goal.   

A generous donor, Walter Knoll, will match all gifts, dollar for dollar, brought in through this project up to $10,000. Your support will help us gain necessary funds to launch the innovative care needed by so many.
