The Munroe-Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center has provided that and more.
We invite readers to learn about our history in a book written by Henry J. Cordes titled “A Century of Caring: The History of The Munroe-Meyer Institute,” published in 2019 to mark the institute’s 100th anniversary.
Readers can learn more about MMI's 100-year history, one of continuous growth, a history that has seen the institute — which grew from a care facility for children and families impacted by the effects of polio — evolve to become one of the most comprehensive care centers in the country for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and complex health care needs.
As the institute celebrated its centennial, MMI continued to transform the lives of those we serve, and we will proudly continue on this path. Research will transform diagnosis and treatment. Education and training of the new generation of providers will reach new heights. Services will enhance access and outcomes. New, revolutionary ideas will continue to take form.
We hope that you enjoy this remarkable reflection of the last century as we build the next century together. One hundred years later, we are confident to say: The best is yet to come!
