MVPN Lufkin had the honor to speak at the Gipson Funeral Gipson Funeral Home Memorial Day Service. It was an honor to speak about May Mental Health Awareness and honoring our fallen.

Gipson Funeral Home hosted its annual Memorial Day service Monday in its chapel, marking the 15th year of the tradition.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚
This year’s message is simple but powerful: More Good Days, Together.

At Burke, we know that a “good day” can look different for everyone. Some days feel strong and steady. Others might just be getting through. And both matter.

This month, we’re focusing on the small things, the real moments, and the connections that help create more good days across our communities in East Texas.

You don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to support you, your family, and your journey.

👉 Follow along all month as we share ideas, resources, and ways you can join the conversation.

Today, we celebrate the compassionate, skilled, and dedicated nurses who make a difference every single day across East Texas. 💙

At Burke, our nurses are often the first to offer comfort, guidance, and hope to individuals and families navigating mental health and intellectual and developmental disability services. Whether in our clinics, crisis services, residential programs, or community settings, their care changes lives.

Thank you for the long hours, the listening ears, the calm during crises, and the commitment you bring to our communities every day.

Please join us in thanking our incredible Burke nurses for all they do! 👏
