Mission
Our Mission: Marklund makes everyday life possible for individuals with profound disabilities. The individuals Marklund serves come to us from various situations: some were born with disabilities due to complications during pregnancy and delivery, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, drug abuse, or genetic disorders. Others acquired disabilities during infancy or childhood through tragic but common accidents involving cars, bicycles, skateboards, swimming pools, garage doors, or guns. Nearly all of those served are non-ambulatory and have severe cognitive deficits. Most also have complex medical problems that require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Our Vision: A happy, safe, purpose-filled life for every individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
