The gift allows construction alternates, including an enclosed splash park and a gymnasium addition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new Munroe-Meyer Institute building will be a unique patient experience, and this gift will allow us to offer even more therapeutic services to families as we work to transform the lives of people with disabilities and complex health care needs,&#8221; Welsh said. &#8220;MMI wishes to thank the donor, whose gift will enable us to provide even more therapeutic options to the people we serve. This is only the latest generous gift to this project, and we at MMI have been overwhelmed by the community and philanthropic support we have received.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The budget for the renovated
