Community
Sound Family Medicine staff and providers are committed to the communities where we live and work. We feel it is important to contribute our time and resources to improve the lives of others. Organizations that we support include the American Cancer Society, Cascade Regional Blood Services, and the local food banks (Puyallup, Graham and Bonney Lake). We also help out area school sports teams as the team doctor.
In 2009, we partnered with the Tacoma Art Museum to bring David Macaulay’s illustrative exhibit, “The Way He Works,” to Tacoma. In celebration of our partnership with the museum, Sound Family Medicine hosted an ice-cream social at the museum for our patients and employees to enjoy.
Our staff takes pleasure in volunteering for and attending many community events. Some of our favorites include the Roy Rodeo, Relay for Life and the Bonney Lake Health Fair. You’ll find us doing everything from serving food at the concession stand to offering free blood pressure checks.
Each year, Sound Family Medicine’s scholarship committee selects five to six high school seniors and two SFM employees to receive $500 scholarships. The awards are based on academic excellence and community involvement. Our providers then attend the award ceremonies to present the recipients with their scholarships.
Sound Family Medicine also recognizes that there are many community members who are in need of everyday assistance. We conduct drives in our clinics to collect everything from school supplies to warm coats to food for Thanksgiving dinner. Volunteering in the community is very important to us at Sound Family Medicine, and we cherish the time that we are able to spend with our neighbors.
