Good morning!!

I hope this email finds you having a beautiful day so far.  I want to give a special shout-out to those who have already made generous gifts to the Oberle Institute and are helping us carry out our mission of helping patients thrive.  But what exactly does thriving mean?  While we can (and do) evaluate patient success by measuring different health outcomes, I want to share with you what I feel is the biggest determining factor that a trauma patient is going to have a thriving recovery.  Almost every single patient we've worked with has told me that they want to do what I do and start visiting patients to help give them the same confidence that I've given them.  It's such a humbling honor to have someone tell you they want to start giving back and helping others because of what I do.  This is how we build a community that heals together and keep the miracle moving!!!

Also, in case you haven't heard it yet, here's a link to my recent Story Collider/St. Louis Public Radio talk about resilience.  It re-aired yesterday on the radio and I wanted to make sure to share it with you.  Thank you again!  With your support, we can help patients live their lives to the fullest and create their own inspirational stories.
