According to Mental Health America, nearly 44 million Americans suffer from a mental health condition.
It’s an alarming statistic. What’s even more alarming is just how young some of these people are.
“We’ve seen kids talk to their parents as young as 8 and say things like, ‘I don’t feel loved. I don’t want to be here anymore. I don’t want to be anywhere anymore.’,” said Samantha Clark, Executive Director of Strategy for the MultiCare Behavioral Health Network.
It’s a reality that’s hard to process.
“I don’t think we fully anticipated how big of an impact that was going to be and how significant their needs were going to be in just the course of a year,” said Clark.

As of Thursday, May 27, the ZIP code with the highest vaccination rate in Spokane County is 99203, at 60.5%, followed by 99204 at 50.5 percent, according to data provided by SRHD. Both of these areas are located on Spokane s South Hill.
The ZIP code with the lowest vaccination rate is 99011 at 4.5%, according to the data from SRHD. This is Fairchild Airforce Base. Kelli Hawkins, a spokesperson for SRHD, clarified that vaccines administered by the U.S. Department of Defense or the Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital are not reported to the Washington Disease Reporting System (WDRS), which likely explains the low vaccination rate. The DOH pulls its vaccination data from the WDRS, Hawkins said.
