Who we serve

They achieve the unimaginable each and every day.  They are the children and adults of McGuire Memorial - individuals who are severely physically and developmentally challenged.  At McGuire Memorial, every individual served is loved, supported and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.  For no matter the severity or extent of one's disability, McGuire Memorial strives to let each and every person in their care live life to the fullest.  At the very heart of McGuire's mission is the belief in the sacredness of life from conception to death.  McGuire Memorial believes that every person is a unique gift of God, is created for a sacred purpose, and is able to attain a fullness of life.  Inspired and guided by these principles, McGuire Memorial treats each and every individual with dignity and respect.  Helping them achieve their hopes, dreams and desires.  Helping them experience a fullness of life.
