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; itās 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.
As summer begins, now is the time to address the unique challenges children and families face when schools close. Thanks to grants from King County and Providence Swedish, SOUNDās expanded summer programs offer engaging activities and parenting classes to keep clients connected and supported. From BBQs to rock climbing, weāre ensuring summer is a season of growth, care, and connection.
