Keeping people at the center of recovery.
Evellere Group partners with hospitals, research teams, and academic institutions to build patient engagement into clinical research, and to deliver trauma recovery coaching grounded in a decade of evidence.
Two practices, one purpose.
We translate research into work that reaches patients directly, and we make sure the people recovering from injury have a voice in the studies meant to help them.
Patient & Stakeholder Engagement
We embed patient and community voices into orthopedic trauma research, from study design through dissemination. Federal funders increasingly require meaningful engagement. We make sure it is real, not a checkbox.
- Engagement strategy and planning for funded trials
- Patient and stakeholder advisory panel development
- Recruitment, retention, and dissemination support
- Grant proposal and progress reporting contribution
Trauma Recovery Coaching
Recovery after serious injury is not only physical. Our proprietary coaching model supports patients through the psychological and practical work of healing, delivered by trained coaches alongside the clinical team.
- Evidence-informed coaching curriculum
- Coach training and supervision
- Pain neuroscience and fear-avoidance literacy
- Outcome tracking and program evaluation
Adjacent needs, grant strategy, program design, advisory, often grow out of these engagements. If you are not sure where your project fits, start a conversation.
We work across the systems where recovery happens.
Embedding recovery support into the patient pathway.
Engagement and coaching built into active research.
Partnering on federally funded trauma trials.
Connecting clinical work to the people it serves.
Evidence is what separates a coaching program from a wellness trend.
Hospitals, funders, and research teams do not need another feel-good intervention. They need work that holds up to peer review and connects to measurable outcomes.
A decade of peer-reviewed work behind every program.
Our coaching model and engagement practice grew out of more than ten years of published research in orthopedic trauma recovery, much of it led or co-authored by our founder alongside the Vallier research group.

Social Health & Outcomes
Connecting social context and mental health to physical recovery after trauma.
Turning research into programs that reach people.
Evellere Group grew out of more than a decade of research in orthopedic trauma recovery. We kept seeing the same gap: strong evidence for psychosocial support, and almost no infrastructure to deliver it to patients. Evellere exists to close that gap.
The firm operates as Partners for Trauma Resilience LLC and is based in Cleveland, Ohio.
Mary Breslin is a researcher and program builder with expertise in research methodology, study design, and the day-to-day work of running clinical research. At Evellere she manages and implements coach and recovery programs that reach patients directly. She also leads the firm's patient and stakeholder engagement work. Her bibliography spans dozens of peer-reviewed publications, presentations, and invited workshops, and she has shared her work on building clinical research programming on national and international stages. Mary holds a Master of Public Health from Baldwin Wallace University and a Bachelor of Arts from Moody Bible Institute.
Dr. Heather Vallier is an orthopaedic trauma surgeon and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery whose research forms much of the evidence base behind Evellere's work. She has published more than 200 journal articles and 23 book chapters, served as President of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, and is a Deputy Editor for the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma. In 2013 she founded the Trauma Recovery Services program at a Level 1 trauma center, the program that became the foundation of Evellere's coaching model. She earned her medical degree at Stanford University and completed her orthopaedic traumatology training at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
