Earlier this month, we had the honor of cutting the ribbon and officially opening the doors to a new chapter of care in Auburn. In partnership with International Community Health Services (ICHS), SOUND's Auburn clinic is now home to integrated behavioral health, primary care, and mobile dental services, all under one roof. This collaboration is more than just a co-habitation; itâs a powerful step toward whole-person care that lowers barriers, makes services easier to access, and provides a more supportive experience for individuals and families in our community.
Weâre excited to announce the SOUND of Hope Gala on November 23rd at MOHAI, celebrating community and progress in behavioral health. Weâve also made great strides in workforce development, reducing turnover to 12%, increasing diversity to 45%, and hiring 128 new staff this year. Your support helps us continue building a stronger SOUND team.
