The Menninger Clinic Annual Luncheon Featuring Joe Pantoliano

Best known for his Emmy Award-winning role in The Sopranos and films such as The Matrix, Bad Boys, Memento and The Goonies, actor Joe Pantoliano struggled for years with his mental health until a diagnosis of clinical depression encouraged him to use his platform to educate the public about mental illness. Pantoliano will share his mental health journey at The Menninger Clinic’s Annual Luncheon on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at the Hilton Houston Post Oak. The luncheon is chaired by Tejuana L. Edmond and Jennifer Hanson and honors the YMCA for their contributions to our community’s mental health.

The goal of The Menninger Clinic’s Annual Signature Luncheon is to bring crucial conversations about mental health to the forefront during National Mental Health Awareness Month. Proceeds from the luncheon help to advance mental health training, research and treatment at Menninger, which ranks among the nation’s best psychiatric hospitals, according to U.S. News & World Report.
