We’ve grown so much in the last few years, and we’d love to share our story with you.

FOSTERING CHANGE

Morgan’s is more than a 501c(3) nonprofit organization – it’s a movement of inclusion. With over 150 million dollars in assets, 150+ acres of land, and over 300 employees, we serve as the umbrella organization that oversees and supports five Ultra-Accessible™, fully-inclusive entities. We support endeavors where individuals of all ages and abilities can come together for a better understanding of one another.

At our core, we believe that everyone deserves the right to enjoy and experience life, regardless of cognitive or physical ability. By removing barriers, we can help bring together people of all abilities to better understand each other, build friendships, and create a more inclusive world. Our vision is to spark cultural change by creating inclusive spaces and places for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.

Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) at Morgan’s

Located in Morgan’s MAC and in partnership with University Health, this Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) allows individuals with disabilities and special needs to undergo medical procedures that currently are not easily able to be scheduled in a typical hospital setting.

Every individual who comes into the ASC can arrive with confidence knowing their procedure will be completed as scheduled, regardless of time needed. The ASC strives to provide a comfortable and calming environment to help individuals with special needs and disabilities obtain the medical treatment they require, especially treatments requiring anesthesia.

The ASC is yet another first-of-its-kind facility.

Many medically-fragile individuals don’t have a place to turn to for skilled day care; however, Morgan’s Wonder Care will be a warm and welcoming haven for a significantly underserved population. Parents and caregivers can rest easy in the knowledge that their loved one is receiving professional care while they deal with job requirements or other obligations. Highly-qualified and caring specialists will staff this Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care Center (PPECC).

Introducing Morgan’s Hotel–a first-of-its-kind, Ultra-Accommodating™ hotel to service the everyday traveler. Whether it’s a simple overnight stay for business or a week-long getaway, this hotel will far exceed Americans with Disabilities Act standards and be easily accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability. Each Ultra-Accommodating™ feature is meticulously crafted to ensure comfort and accessibility, including wider doorways and wheelchair-accessible furnishings, audio cues for guests with visual impairments, and even sensory-calming elements.

Morgan’s Hotel is committed to affordability while offering full amenities and services for the benefit of every guest. As a bonus, a top-floor bar and restaurant will allow guests to enjoy incredible views while socializing and forming lasting connections.

All net profits from Morgan’s Hotel will go to Morgan’s to pursue initiatives benefiting the special needs community.

Dental at Morgan's MAC

Our expanded dental facility at Morgan’s MAC (Multi-Assistance Center) will offer top-tier dental services in a fully-equipped, Ultra-Accessible™ environment. This expansion from 5 to 19 dental chairs will further enhance our commitment to becoming a leader in specialized dental care as we aim to ensure that every client, including individuals with special needs and disabilities, has access to the exceptional dental care they require.

Morgan’s Inclusion Institute

The Institute will build on Morgan’s impressive record of success in furthering inclusion and accessibility and will share insights into Morgan’s best practices that can make the world more inclusive. At its headquarters in Morgan’s Inclusion Campus near Morgan’s Wonderland, the Institute will welcome businesses, organizations, non-profits, governmental entities, and others eager to learn and implement how they can integrate inclusion and accessibility into all aspects of their work and life.

The Institute’s curriculum, which will be delivered through interactive programming and can-do plans will inspire new ways of thinking about inclusion. During seminars, group discussions and other methods, the Morgan’s team will relate lessons learned from countless interactions with those with special needs and disabilities and provide guidance specific to attendees’ circumstances. In so doing, the Institute will connect Morgan’s experts with learners who can implement real-world applications of inclusion and kindness. Thus, the “Morgan’s Way” will be the standard of excellence for making the world more inclusion focused.

Through creative storytelling, the multi-media team at Morgan’s will spark cultural change by educating society about the individual struggles, needs and successes of individuals with disabilities and special needs. By explaining why everyone has a role to play in making the world more-accessible, Morgan’s Studio will create an inclusive mindset among audiences around the world.
The Ultra-AccessibleTM, fully-inclusive facility will provide specialized fitness equipment for individuals of all abilities, and it will offer both individual and group fitness sessions to encourage health and wellness. The Fitness Center will make it possible to expand the range of fitness activities available including “open gym” opportunities for those wishing to customize their workouts.

Morgan's Family Restaurant

A restaurant will be conveniently located next to Morgan’s Hotel, and like the hotel, it will convey all profits to Morgan’s for inclusion-centric endeavors. Morgan’s Family Restaurant will offer delicious dining at breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as offering life-enhancing employment opportunities for persons with special needs.
