The Karel Lewit Clinic
Serving clients nationwide right here in St. Louis
A Historic Locale
The Karel Lewit Clinic at the Central Institute for Human Performance is on the second floor of a historically significant building that has played a crucial role in American and local St. Louis history. Originally named the Meacham Park School, it was later renamed the J. Milton Turner school in 1932. The school was established in 1924 to address the inadequate education for black students and underwent expansions with New Deal funding in 1933.
In 1950, Kirkwood parents filed a lawsuit for desegregation, leading to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954. J. Milton Turner, a former slave and advocate for black education, played a significant role in establishing and founding over thirty new schools for African Americans. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, and in 2008, it was converted into office space named after J. Milton Turner.
Today, it houses the administration office for the Kirkwood School District and various businesses while preserving the school’s history through photographs and artifacts.

Karel Lewit Clinic & CIHP
The Karel Lewit Clinic (KL) evolved over twenty years ago from a small private practice in Clayton, Missouri to become the clinical division of the Central Institute for Human Performance (CIHP)—a multidisciplinary enterprise dedicated to empowering human performance at all levels.
Clients at CIHP receive individualized 1-on-1 private training for rehabilitation and performance goals. In addition to providing clinical services for medical clients recovering from pain and injury, clinicians at KL provide specialized assessments and treatment to help CIHP clients track and improve their progress.
Depending on a client’s case and goals, in addition to receiving clinical services, KL clients can work with the rehabilitation or performance team at CIHP to receive more comprehensive care and health management.
