Our Mission

The Medical Education Institute (MEI) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping people with chronic diseases learn to manage and improve their health. To fulfill our mission: • We conduct health behavior research to better understand the patient experience and the interactions between patients and their healthcare teams. • We create educational materials—based on research and adult education principles—to empower patients to manage their health. • We distribute these educational resources at little or no cost to maximize their availability. • We work with policy-makers and providers to create patient-friendly, rehab-friendly policy.

Who We Are

MEI was founded in 1993 by Edith Oberley, Paulette Sacksteder, and William Hofeldt. At that point, Edith had been her husband Terry’s home hemodialysis partner for 20 years. Dori Schatell has been a part of the MEI team since it was founded and took the role of Executive Director in 2001. MEI's team includes experienced researchers, writers, editors, designers, social workers, and patient education experts with decades of experience in healthcare communications.
