Our Story

Libre, LLC is a clothing line for dialysis and chemotherapy patients. Megan Stengel, Vice President of Research and Development, recognized the need after watching her mother go through dialysis several times a week. Her mother, Teresa, was frustrated from ruining clothing in order to receive her treatment and still lacking comfort during the four hour process. The founding members are all alumni of Miami University and met while taking classes through the Page Center for Entrepreneurship. The remaining managing members of Libre, LLC are Mandy Eckman, Tess Schuster, and Bethany Skaff. Each member is passionate about improving a patient's quality of life through their work.

Why Libre?

Libre means "open" and "free" in several languages. This refers to a literal opening in our clothing as well as the way patients feel while wearing the clothing. They have the freedom to wear what they want any time of the day without letting treatment hold them back from their daily activities.

Mission Statement

Libre is dedicated to providing comfortable, functional clothing for dialysis and infusion patients. Libre products are developed with the customer in mind as we strive to ease the burden of treatment days. We are committed to giving back to different foundations that work alongside of us to bring an ease to these patients' lives. Our goal is to make each patient's life a little more "Libre"!
