The Munroe-Meyer Instituteâs new $91 million home features cold- and warm-water pools, an indoor splash pad and state-of-the art physical therapy and virtual reality labs intended to provide the care needed by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
But Dr. Karoly Mirnics, the instituteâs director, said what he hopes to see in the faces of patients when they walk into the facility, which was dedicated Tuesday, is a sense of belonging.
âThat they are part of this enterprise, that this enterprise was built for them and that it represents a promise that we will do our best to help them reach their potential,â Mirnics said. âAnd we are not there only for one day. We are there for a lifetime.â

Nebraska Medicine Data Breach Settlement Approved
A preliminary settlement has been reached in a lawsuit brought against Nebraska Medicine over a 2020 data security incident.
Omaha-based Nebraska Medicine suffered a cyber-attack in September 2020. The attack disrupted the healthcare provider s information technology system, leading to the postponement of patient appointments.
Staff in the system’s hospitals and clinics had to chart by hand, and access to Nebraska Medicine s patient portal and to patients electronic health records was impacted.
An investigation into the incident revealed that an unauthorized party used malware to gain access to Nebraska Medicine and University of Nebraska Medical Center’s shared computer network between August 27 and September 20.
