Dr. Steven Killion is a healthcare leader whose career spans chiropractic care, healthcare administration, consulting, and integrated treatment program development. He earned his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degrees from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2009. Shortly after graduation, he opened his chiropractic practice in Eagle, Idaho in September 2009. He later expanded into Meridian, Idaho, growing the practice to include functional medicine services, nurse practitioners, and massage therapy—building a multidisciplinary model focused on comprehensive patient care.

In November 2016, Dr. Killion sustained a hand injury that forced him to close his practice, as his chiropractic services were the primary financial driver while the additional providers were still building their patient base. Following this transition, he relocated to Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he entered the assisted living sector. There, he became a Licensed Administrator in the State of Idaho and helped open two new assisted living communities. During this time, he developed extensive expertise in writing policy and procedures, state licensing and credentialing, Medicaid credentialing, and fire and life safety compliance for assisted living facilities.

Dr. Killion later expanded his consulting work, assisting in the development of four medical offices—two in Idaho, one in Arizona, and one in Texas—further strengthening his experience in healthcare operations, regulatory compliance, and organizational infrastructure.

He was eventually approached by a former business partner to help establish a Behavioral Health Agency (BHA) in Tacoma, Washington. Dr. Killion authored the policies and procedures and led the credentialing process for Advanced Mental Health of Washington, doing business as The Tacoma Project—a behavioral health agency delivering wraparound services to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations.

Passionate about serving underserved communities, Dr. Killion co-founded the organization and played a central role in building its clinical and operational foundation. As of January 28, 2026, he assumed full ownership of the company. The agency has since been rebranded as The Stability Project, reflecting its continued commitment to providing comprehensive, stability-focused care and long-term solutions for those in need
