The UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute has released its annual report, showcasing excellence across the institute’s four pillars — patient care, education, research and outreach.

See the online report at this link.

The 2022-23 report features a sampling of MMI efforts, including how the pediatric feeding department is bettering lives across the lifespan and a trio of projects from the physical therapy department designed to aid children with mobility issues. It also highlights the nation-leading applied behavior analysis PhD program; an innovative attempt to build social skills of children on the autism spectrum; and the commitment to bring exceptional autism services to communities across the state.

In his director’s message, Karoly Mirnics, MD, PhD, writes:

“Reading this report makes me proud, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude — to the patient families who entrust their loved ones to our care, to all MMI employees who make the magic happen and the community members, partners and leaders who ensure the framework in which we can thrive.

“Excellence is an enduring goal, resting on the pillars of teamwork, community and caring. Thank you for allowing us to be excellent!”
