ABOUT SMASH
SMASH is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping local musicians healthy by providing free and low-cost access to primary care, mental health treatment, dental, vision, hearing, Substance Use Disorder treatment, and health care navigation. SMASH serves musicians living in King, Snohomish, Pierce, Mason, Kitsap and Thurston counties.
SMASH is here to support musicians’ health. It is free to be a member. SMASH is not a health insurance provider, so even if musicians have insurance, they can still qualify for SMASH services.

Shivani Patel is a Doctor of Audiology and owner of Clear Hearing + Audiology. Always drawn to music, in college she became increasingly fascinated by the science of sound and hearing. This curiosity led her to pursue a career in audiology. Drawing from her own experiences as a musician, she became committed to educating fellow musicians about the importance of protecting their hearing. She hopes that the beauty of music can be enjoyed for generations to come, without sacrificing the gift of hearing.
