Mercy Plus would like to shout out one of our many community resources who will be in attendance on July 27th for the first annual Rock The Block Disability & Inclusion Awareness Event. Not only will you find this event to be extremely fun and filled with yummy food, but you can also expect to find many resources available, such as the Disability Network Mid-Michigan (DNMM).

"At Disability Network Mid-Michigan (DNMM), we believe it is not a disability that prevents people from participating in our communities; it is the barriers the community places in front of them. Disability Network exists to support the determination of individuals with disabilities to lead dignified, independent lives and to heighten community awareness of those physical and social barriers that restrict independence."
