Compass Health Celebrates Major Fundraising Success for New Facility

Compass Health's Landmark Campaign Completion

Compass Health has achieved a remarkable milestone with the completion of its inaugural capital campaign, aimed at establishing a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to intensive behavioral health services. This campaign, dubbed It's Time: The Campaign for Compass Health, has successfully raised nearly $12 million for the construction of the Marc Healing Center, part of the Broadway Campus Redevelopment in Everett.

A Vision Transformed into Reality

Tom Sebastian, the CEO of Compass Health, shared his thoughts on this monumental achievement, stating, "This project has represented many firsts for our organization, and the capital campaign is no different. It's a considerable undertaking to build this kind of facility, and an even bigger one to ask the community to help fund it. The overwhelming support we've received speaks not only to the generosity of our neighbors but also the impact of the Marc Healing Center, and what it represents to so many."

Community Support: The Heart of the Project

The journey that began with a pressing vision has taken shape thanks to the relentless support from individual contributors, corporate sponsors, and philanthropic organizations. The Marc Healing Center's emphasis on improving community health has resonated deeply within the region, encouraging ongoing donations as project leaders continue to invite contributions.

Significant Contributions to the Campaign

The campaign has seen remarkable donations, including $3 million from the Sunderland Foundation, $2 million from a Community Project initiative backed by U.S. Representative Rick Larsen, and other substantial gifts from charitable trusts and local banks. The support highlights the community's acknowledgment of the critical need for enhanced mental health resources.

Addressing Behavioral Health Challenges

Compass Health has positioned itself as a crucial resource for mental health in Northwest Washington, tackling issues like housing crises and substance use. Shawn Hoban, CEO of the Coast Group of Companies, emphasized the urgent need for support, noting, "Community mental health affects all of us – across the region, our neighbors are facing housing crises, behavioral health challenges, substance use and more." He underscored the significance of the Marc Healing Center as a solution to these pervasive issues.

A Commitment to Recovery and Dignity

As the campaign gathered momentum, voices like Jeff Cymbaluk's echoed the community's desire for effective behavioral health solutions. He stated, "The needs of our neighbors are greater than ever before. My family is committed to investing in our community and knows that behavioral health solutions are a top priority." This reflects a broader acknowledgment of the importance of mental health in the societal landscape.

Building a New Future in Behavioral Health

The commitment to improving behavioral health services encompasses various elements, including creating an inviting and functional space for professionals and clients alike. The Marc Healing Center is set to house a 16-bed evaluation and treatment unit, a crisis stabilization center, outpatient services, and offices for community engagement teams, aiming to serve nearly 1,300 clients each year.

Innovating Solutions for Mental Health Needs

Compass Health’s Broadway Campus Redevelopment signifies an extensive, multi-phase approach to address behavioral health in the region. With recent developments such as Andy's Place, which provides permanent supportive housing since its 2021 opening, the focus continues on integration with primary care to create a comprehensive service model.

The Road Ahead

As the capital campaign wraps up, construction on the Marc Healing Center is reaching its final stages. This facility is not just a building; it represents a commitment to the community’s well-being. The project embodies a collective effort where, as Tom Kozaczynski remarked, "It takes a village." It's a reminder of what can be achieved through dedicated community action.
