Congratulations to our Nurse of the Quarter, Ms. Burch, RN.

She truly exemplifies dedication and compassion. Ms. Burch consistently goes above and beyond by working weekend doubles, picking up CNC shifts, and often covering two of our most challenging units on her own.

She is a steady presence for both patients and staff, always willing to step in and support her fellow nurses when they need it most. Her passion for pediatric psychiatric care is evident in the way she connects with and advocates for her patients, and the nursing team has complete confidence in her ability to manage complex patient populations effectively.

Outside of work, her love for horses reflects the same patience, care, and commitment she brings to her nursing practice. We are incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Burch on our team.

As the colder months set in, keeping kids healthy, both physically and emotionally, becomes even more important. At SMTC, we encourage families to support wellness during the cold season by focusing on routines that promote overall well-being.

Simple habits like regular handwashing, balanced nutrition, proper rest, staying active indoors and maintaining consistent daily schedules can make a meaningful difference. Just as important is your child’s mental health. Shorter days and colder weather can affect mood and energy levels, making open communication, structure and support essential during this time of year.

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose message of compassion, justice and service continues to inspire. At San Marcos Treatment Center, we reflect on Dr. King’s commitment to understanding, dignity and equality, values that align with our mission to provide compassionate, inclusive care for every child and adolescent we serve.

His vision reminds us that healing, hope and positive change begin with empathy and action. As we observe MLK Day, we encourage reflection, service and meaningful conversations that help build a more caring and connected community.
