"Operations keeps the lights on, strategy provides the light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organization forward."

A LITTLE ABOUT US:
Dungarvin is a national organization of privately owned companies that provide high quality, community-based supports to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, people who are faced with mental health, behavioral or significant medical challenges, and to children and their families. Because each individual we support is unique, we strive to provide services that are tailored to each person's own hopes, dreams, goals and needs. Under the support of Medicaid and Community Support Waivers Dungarvin is proud to create custom solutions to each person served.

FUN FACT:

Our founders, Tim and Diane Madden opened the first Dungarvin program, an ICF/MR serving 15 people, in St. Paul, Minnesota, in March 1976; a mere 4 months after the conception of its idea. For the next 3 years Tim and Diane slept on a mattress on the floor and worked as the first live-in support staff for that program! Through the success of that program Dungarvin has grown to employ approximately 4,233 people who currently provide supports to over 4,712 individuals across 14 states with their continued leadership.
