🚶💚 Reminder: The Mental Health Awareness Walk is TODAY at noon!

Come walk with us as we raise awareness, show support, and stand together for mental health in our community. Whether you walk the whole route or just stop by to show your support, we’d love to see you there.

Let’s take steps together toward hope, healing, and ending the stigma surrounding mental health. 💚

We hope to see you there!

💚 Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

May is a time to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma, and support overall wellness. This year’s theme, “More Good Days, Together,” highlights the power of community, connection, and caring for one another.

Please join us on Wednesday, May 27 at 12:00 PM at Gratiot Integrated Health Network as we come together for a Mental Health Awareness Walk.

By sharing our lived experiences, learning from one another, and building strong community connections, we can challenge stigma and create spaces where people feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal. Every story shared turns silence into connection—and connection into healing.

💚 Wear green to show your support for mental health awareness!
💚 Walk with us to raise awareness, lift each other up, and make a meaningful impact in our community.

Together, we can create more good days—for everyone.

This past week, GIHN staff took part in a Casual for a Cause, with donations supporting Child Advocacy. Together, our team raised $159.

Even more meaningful—thanks to a matching campaign through the United Way of Greater Central Michigan, every dollar raised during April was matched, doubling the impact.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support a community partner and be part of something that gives back to Gratiot County. 💛

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the incredible team that keeps GIHN running smoothly every single day!

They’re the friendly faces who greet you when you walk through our doors, the voices on the other end of the phone, and the knowledgeable problem-solvers who keep everything on track. They truly are the glue that holds us all together.

GIHN would be lost without Doreen, JoAnna, Josh, Jo, Judy, Lorinda, and Melissa. Your dedication, organization, and behind-the-scenes magic do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do to support our consumers, staff, and guests.

We are so lucky to have such a multi-talented and hardworking group of professionals on our team! 💙
