Welcome to 2025 with SOUND Behavioral Health! We're thrilled to introduce our updated mission statement and redesigned website. Our mission, "Improving lives by providing equitable, recovery-focused behavioral health care for all in our community," reflects our dedication to addressing healthcare inequities. Explore our new website at www.sound.health for a comprehensive look at our services, how to access care, and ways to support our mission. The site now better represents who we are and the vital work we do. Thank you for being part of our journey toward a more equitable future in behavioral health care.
This past year, Sound acquired Community Psychiatric Clinic, a well-regarded behavioral healthcare provider in King County. With the acquisition of CPC, Sound increased the number of people served annually to approximately 26,000. We added four additional outpatient locations and dozens of properties. Though we are now generating $85 million of revenue on an annual basis, with 17 locations, the acquisition reflects a first step in an intentional growth strategy for the organization that will ultimately expand our reach beyond King County.
Itâs all about the future. The work Sound has been undertaking over the past year, the investments weâve made, the evolution of our business â itâs all about the future. Though our industry is rapidly changing, Sound keeps our vision on the future. The process requires equal parts enthusiasm and patience, flexibility and resolve and, importantly, a willingness to make difficult choices. Over the course of 2018, that is exactly what weâve done. Weâre building a great future for our clients, our team members, the larger community and we are doing it in so many ways.
In context of our history and our undying drive to best serve our community, 2017 was a pivotal year for Sound. Some of our changes were quite evident and pronounced while others were considerably more subtle, but no less significant. Without question, the changes in 2017 had purpose and intent, and have a singular focus to ensure that we can meet, and even exceed, our mission for years to come.
The year 2016 was outstanding for SMH. The past year saw the organization celebrating 50 years of innovation and service to the community, and it witnessed the departure of longtime CEO David Stone, PhD, to retirement. Last year also marked the road ahead as we ushered in an exciting new era with the appointment of Patrick C. Evans, SMHâs new President and Chief Executive Officer.
