Mission Statement-2025

 

The Echenberg Institute is a non-clinical telehealth education and advocacy service founded by Dr. Robert Echenberg, a retired Gynecologist and national thought leader. We empower patients, educate providers, and promote compassionate, evidence-based care for underrecognized pelvic, genital, and sexual pain disorders. 

 

Additionally, the Institute is dedicated to furthering professional and collaborative research, training, information dissemination, and community education in the prevention, recognition, diagnostic accuracy, and appropriate and effective treatment of these types of chronic pain in all individuals born with male or female genitals.

Goals

1. To create a greater awareness of the nature and scope of Chronic Pelvic Pain.

2. To offer hope and understanding to those suffering from Chronic Pelvic, Genital, and Sexual Pain disorders who have not yet found relief.

3. To listen, believe, educate, and offer compassion, while providing the most current information on neuroplasticity and pain reprocessing.

4. To share with other medical providers our experiences and gathered knowledge so that they have more tools to help offer to their own patient population.

5. To educate providers who may be in a position to identify and provide an early and positive interaction with individuals who may be at risk for future chronic pain syndromes.

6. To maintain a resource library that contains the latest multidisciplinary, evidence-based, and multi-organ system information.
