The Northwest Hospital Foundation serves as the main development and fundraising organization for Northwest Hospital & Medical Center. Since the Foundation’s inception in 1977, it has facilitated the donation of millions of dollars from the community, as well as funding grants from private organizations and government agencies. Over the years, these generous gifts have increased Northwest Hospital’s ability to serve our community through new and expanded facilities, new technologies and innovative practices and procedures. Among these are Easy Street, a one-of-a-kind therapy environment incorporating a full-size replica of a city street; the Seattle Breast Center, which provides all-digital mammography and evaluation by specialized breast radiologists; the Robert L. Hancock Emergency Medicine Pavilion; and the da Vinci S Robotic Surgical System, a state-of-the-art minimally invasive alternative to conventional laparoscopic surgery or open surgery.

At the Northwest Hospital Foundation, we are dedicated to exceeding our donors’ expectations and holding ourselves to the highest standards for good governance and ethical fundraising.

A Contribution to Your Health
                                       Annual Fund Campaign Begins

As many people do when they approach a milestone like 50 years, we at Northwest Hospital & Medical Center are taking stock of who we are today, where we came from, and what we’ve accomplished along the way.

Since we opened our doors in 1960, we have had the unique mission of raising the long-term health status of our community. To us, that means much more than healing illness and injury. It also means keeping people healthy through prevention, education, early detection and community outreach.

Our community has also kept us healthy throughout the years. In fact, it was the community that raised the money to build Northwest Hospital more than 50 years ago. Each year since, supporters have helped us to develop and deliver state-of-the-art treatment and services, and to make them available to everyone in the community, regardless of their ability to pay.

Donor support is highly visible throughout our campus, from the busy Emergency Medicine Pavilion to the Easy Street Environment for medical, physical and cognitive rehabilitation; the Fountain Plaza where patients, staff and visitors can enjoy the beauty of our campus; and the new Community Health Education & Simulation Center, offering health education to clinical professionals, students and the general public, using computerized simulation mannequins.

As we kick off our annual fund campaign, we remember that we didn’t get here alone. Thousands of people and millions of dollars have made us the award-winning healthcare provider we are today. We encourage you to make a contribution to your health. Without a doubt, your gift will come back to you. When you or your family or your neighbors need us, you’ll be able to recognize your donation in the excellent clinical staff, advanced technologies and facilities we’re able to use in caring for you and for them. Whether you show your support financially, become a Northwest Hospital volunteer, attend a wellness workshop or schedule that long overdue check-up with one of our providers, let us help you stay well, age well and thrive.

We still have work to do and your donation can make the difference. Together, we have the power to heal our families, our neighbors and our community, but we need your support. Make a donation today!
