Shavonne’s decision to spend $250 on a genetic test for a persistent skin condition saved her life. The test revealed she was at high risk for several cancers. That knowledge led to early screening and ultimately caught invasive breast cancer before it had a chance to spread.

Now she’s on a mission to make lifesaving genetic testing accessible for everyone. 💞

When Jeanne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she refused to let it define her. Instead, she turned to the expert team at Providence Swedish MS Center, a place where care goes beyond treatment to help patients live boldly.

Jeanne, who captained the first all-female sailing crew to win the 750-mile Race to Alaska, continues to embrace life with courage and determination, proving that MS doesn’t define her path.

Imagine hearing your child’s laughter for the first time. For thousands of parents, cochlear implants make that moment possible. These devices don’t cure hearing loss, but they create opportunities for language, music and connection.

Dr. Sachin Gupta, a board-certified neurotologist at Providence Swedish, explains how cochlear implants work, why they’re safe and how they’re helping patients hear the world around them.

The first moments of 2026 were marked by two very special arrivals. 👶🎉

At 12:05 a.m., Denise and Nathan welcomed their second child, Thomas, weighing 6 pounds, 12 ounces, born at Providence Swedish Issaquah. The family was excited to introduce him to his nearly three-year-old brother, Micah.

Just over an hour later, at 1:17 a.m., Alexandra and Ian welcomed their first child, Graham, weighing 9.5 pounds, born at Providence Swedish First Hill. After a long labor, the new parents shared their joy, saying, “We are ecstatic about Graham’s arrival and look forward to bringing him home.”

Please join us in congratulating these families and welcoming our first babies of 2026. ❤️

“Life may feel hard right now, but you're still pushing.”

That simple message—written by a local student—will be waiting on a Providence Medford patient’s bedside this . ❤️

Students from Hanby Middle School, Rogue Christian Academy and Harvest Baptist spent the past week writing heartfelt letters for patients spending the holiday in the hospital.

Our diagnostic imaging caregivers loved the idea so much that they expanded the project—creating cards for fellow caregivers too.

Now, patients and caregivers will open handwritten notes filled with hope, encouragement and Christmas cheer. 🎁✨

The holidays remind us of the power of kindness—and caregivers like Dawn Sanders live that spirit every day.

At Covenant Health Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, a patient facing cancer and a life-changing colostomy felt scared and overwhelmed. Learning ostomy care seemed impossible—until Dawn stepped in. 🌟

Dawn visited daily, patiently teaching and supporting them. Then, when anxiety spiked before discharge, Dawn came in on her day off to provide extra support, ensure supplies were ready and connect her with resources for a safe transition home. 🙌

The result? A patient who went home ready to manage her care with confidence—all thanks to Dawn’s compassion and commitment. 💚

‘Tis the season to tuck kiddos into warm, cozy beds. 🎄🛏️

Last year, we partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - Spokane, a local non-profit in Washington., to help make sure children had a safe place to sleep. Thanks to volunteers and donors, countless kids received beds and the comfort of a good night’s rest. 🌜

This holiday season reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can bring warmth and joy to others.

It's a ! As we head into the season of giving, we're reflecting on an unforgettable event earlier this year with Seattle Sounders FC and our partner, El Centro de la Raza! 🎉

We had the privilege of spending quality time with over 120 local students, bringing vital mental health resources to the community; including Dr. Daisy Aceves of Swedish who provided an emotional first aid kit to support students in their well-being journey.

The energy that day was truly inspiring – check it out! 💚

Born at just 30 weeks and weighing less than a bag of sugar, Alison Lee spent six weeks in ’s NICU, where compassionate care gave her a fighting chance.

21-years later, Alison is thriving as a Georgetown senior, preparing for a career in maternal and neonatal care—a path inspired by her own journey. 💙

The Lee family has remained closely connected to Swedish since Alison’s birth. She’s joined her parents at Swedish Foundation philanthropy events and has met many of the nurses and doctors who continue to care for newborns and their families.

One of those events sparked an idea: celebrating her 21st birthday with her mother during a NICU reunion.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and the Swedish Foundation, even the tiniest babies can grow up to chase extraordinary dreams. 🚀
