OUR MISSION

We believe musicians deserve access to life-saving healthcare services that are affordable, easy to access, and meet their needs. When you’re struggling with your health, it's hard to put one foot in front of the other, let alone create music. Our goal is to provide a foundation of health, both physical and mental, that allows musicians to continue enriching our local culture, economy, and lives.

Check out the video above by Brian Callanan on the Seattle Channel to learn more about our work and hear the story of how Lance Mercer, iconic music photographer, musician, and SMASH Member, was able to access life-changing dental care at Lyon's Creek Dental Care, a SMASH Gold Provider, who has donated over $300,000 in services to local musicians.
