Dr. Mirnics named 2019 Friend of Scottish Rite

Karoly Mirnics, M.D., Ph.D., who was named the 2019 Friend of the Scottish Rite at an Oct. 25 ceremony, said that to praise the Scottish Rite only for supporting communication and language development at MMI's RiteCare Clinics would be a gross understatement.

They do so much more.

Director's message:
So many reasons to be thankful
The holiday season is a good time to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year and the people who have helped them happen. There is much to be thankful for at the Munroe-Meyer Institute.

Consider supporting the Munroe-Meyer Institute on Giving Tuesday
December 3 is “Giving Tuesday,” a day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.


The Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI) aims to lead the world in transforming the lives of all individuals with disabilities and complex health care needs, their families and the community through outreach, engagement, premier educational programs, innovative research and extraordinary patient care.

This year, MMI is celebrating our 100-year anniversary, “A Century of Caring.” Our first 100 years would not have been possible without generous supporters like you.

On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, consider giving a gift toward our goal of $2,500 in support of MMI.

 In addition to your gift, consider creating a personal fundraising page through the link above. By creating a page, telling your MMI story and sharing your page with your family and friends via social media and email, you will help MMI get the word out and reach its Giving Tuesday goal.
