Calendar and Events

One by one, we make a difference.

When you participate in a community event or extend our reach through social media, you build upon the foundation of the great things happening at the Munroe-Meyer Institute.

Being a supporter and involving our community helps MMI fulfill our mission of transforming the lives of all individuals with disabilities and complex health care needs.

MMI hosts or supports events throughout the year that are open to friends, clients and colleagues.

Our providers cherish the opportunities these events provide for our teams to connect on a more personal level with our Munroe-Meyer family. They offer time for everyone to celebrate the individuality and uniqueness of our clients and staff alike and fulfill our need to connect with one another.

“If you never did, you should. These things are fun. And fun is good.”
