Newton County Judge Ronnie Cochran announced the establishment of a new Burke Clinical site in Newton County. His announcement is as follows;
Today is an exciting day for Newton County! We are
thrilled to welcome Burke as they establish their newest
clinical site right here in our community. This represents
not only a significant expansion in access to vital health services but also an essential step toward fostering a healthier, more resilient Southeast Texas.
Burke has long been a beacon of hope and support
throughout the region, providing a comprehensive range of services that meet the diverse needs of individuals and families. From mental health care to developmental disability support, substance use recovery, and specialized programs for veterans, Burke’s offerings touch every part of the community. Their dedication to empowering
individuals and strengthening families aligns perfectly with our values here in Newton County.
Let’s talk about what this means for us. Access to quality mental health care is crucial. Burke offers counseling and therapy, crisis intervention, and case management to help people navigate life’s most challenging moments. These services are invaluable for those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health conditions.
Having these resources close by will allow residents to
seek timely help without traveling long distances, making mental health care more accessible and reducing the stigma often associated with seeking help.
Burke’s services extend beyond mental health to
encompass care for developmental and intellectual disabilities. The team at Burke provides assessment, therapeutic services, and lifelong support for individuals with developmental disabilities. By bringing these
resources to Newton County, Burke is helping individuals
with disabilities lead fulfilling, independent lives within our
community. This support also provides relief for families and caregivers, who work tirelessly to ensure their loved ones have the best opportunities possible.
Another critical area where Burke shines is in substance
use recovery. With the opioid crisis and substance abuse
issues impacting so many, Burke’s addiction recovery
programs offer people a path to healing and renewed
purpose. Through counseling, detox services, and
structured recovery programs, Burke plays a vital role in helping people rebuild their lives. Their programs not only help individuals recover but strengthen our community by reducing the impact of substance use and enhancing public safety.
And we cannot forget Burke’s services for veterans, whose
bravery and sacrifices deserve our full support. Burke provides specialized care for veterans, addressing unique challenges like PTSD and helping our heroes adjust back to civilian life. These services honor our veterans and ensure they are treated with the dignity and respect
they’ve earned.
Beyond the direct services Burke provides, this new site
brings an economic boost to Newton County. With new
jobs, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships with local
organizations, Burke’s presence will have a ripple effect, enriching our community in ways that will be felt for years to come.
In closing, we want to thank Burke for choosing Newton
County. Your commitment to serving Southeast Texas
strengthens our entire region, and we are so grateful to
have you here. We look forward to the positive changes that will come from having Burke in our community and are ready to partner with you in supporting the health, wellbeing, and resilience of all our residents.
Thank you, and welcome to Newton County, Burke!
Together, we are building a brighter future for all.
