Compass Health

What Compass Health does

Compass Health is a private 501(c)(3) community behavioral healthcare organization founded in 1901 and headquartered in Everett, Washington. It is the largest provider of community behavioral healthcare in Northwest Washington, operating across five counties (Snohomish, Skagit, Island, San Juan, and Whatcom) with 20+ service locations. The organization delivers a full continuum of services including 24/7 crisis response (YGo Youth Mobile Crisis, MCOT, Crisis Triage & Stabilization, a 16-bed Evaluation & Treatment unit), outpatient behavioral health (Adult Outpatient, AIMS, PACT), residential treatment, Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) for youth, child advocacy, substance use disorder treatment, integrated medical/psychiatric services, and permanent supportive housing. It supports roughly 14,900 clients annually across its five-county footprint.

The organization's service platform is anchored by two flagship facilities on the Broadway Campus in Everett: Andy's Place (82 units of permanent supportive housing, opened May 2021) and the $71.5 million, 70,000-square-foot Marc Healing Center (opened December 2025), which consolidated the 16-bed E&T unit, 16-bed Crisis Triage & Stabilization unit, Adult IOP, PACT, Expanded Community Services, and an on-site Genoa Pharmacy under one roof. Its core technology is the Compass Health Bridge mobile telehealth system — a HIPAA-compliant, Zoom-based platform paired with proprietary mobile devices featuring 300-degree cameras, enabling behavioral health professionals to deliver counseling, psychiatric evaluation, and case management to clients in remote and island-based community settings where in-person care is logistically constrained.

Compass Health's revenue model is a hybrid of government healthcare funding, third-party reimbursement, and philanthropy. Primary revenue derives from Medicaid contracts, Washington State government contracts (Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organization relationships), Medicare, private insurance, and sliding-scale patient fees. A growing share of capacity is funded through philanthropic contributions; the organization completed its first-ever capital campaign in August 2025, raising nearly $12 million for the Marc Healing Center, and has separately secured $21 million in state funding (2023) and $4.5 million from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund (2024) for the Broadway Campus Redevelopment. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-led: services are accessed through direct walk-ins, crisis lines (1-800-584-3578, 988), referrals from schools, healthcare providers, courts, and law enforcement, and embedded partnerships with first responders (e.g., Bellingham Fire Department DCR co-response launched February 2025).
