DESIGN: DavidOwenHastings.com
Dear Friend:
If you are holding this magazine, it means you likely have invested in the health of your community— either as a donor to Providence General Foundation, a caregiver at Providence, or both. We are grateful for your steadfast support, especially now as health care faces some of its biggest challenges and changes.
As we enter this season of giving thanks, we’re grateful to be planning in-person Festival of Trees events this year. We are so excited to begin to safely gather again as we kick off the holidays together and raise money for Children’s Services here at Providence Everett! Check out page 13 for Festival information, including an online option for participating.
We’re also thankful that our Campaign for A Greater Providence is now nearing its $30-million goal. This historic initiative has already resulted in more patient rooms, new operating rooms and cardiac labs, expanded trauma, stroke, autism, and pediatric behavioral health services, as well as new and upgraded medical equipment. These improvements are made possible with the support of individuals, organizations, physicians, and caregivers who have given generously toward world-class health care close to home.
In this issue of inspire you’ll meet a local family who is thankful for our hospital’s trauma team that was willing to try everything to save their little boy. You’ll read how a beloved manager of our Comprehensive Breast Center is inspiring her team as she walks in the shoes of the patients they serve. And you’ll learn how donors are equipping doctors-in-training to go beyond the hospital walls to bring health care to our community’s most vulnerable. We hope these stories make you proud of your hometown medical center and the many things that you help make possible.
We also introduce the interim Chief Executive of Providence Swedish North Puget Sound. On page 12, Kristy Carrington shares about Providence’s partnership with Swedish, her vision for meeting the health care needs of our growing community, and her plan for leading us through the challenges facing providers of health care across the country and here at home.
Recent months have brought many changes to our Foundation, our hospital and health system, and for health care, overall. What has not changed, however, is the importance of providing excellence in local health care—and philanthropy is essential to that ongoing quest. Times like this make your support all the more meaningful, valued, and critical. We are so thankful for you and your willingness to help safeguard and shape the future of health care in our community.

“They’re calling him a miracle
Providence Everett’s trauma team saves toddler using rare, last-resort procedure
It was a quiet Monday evening for the GarciaParra-Lasch family, the house still disorganized from their 7-year-old’s birthday pool party the day before. The birthday boy loved to swim, so the family added extra water to their backyard pool for the party, normally kept as a wading-only pool for safety.
Soon after, medics arrived and took over. Osiris coughed up pool water a few times but remained unresponsive. He was going into cardiac arrest.
Medics rushed Osiris to the closest hospital equipped to save his life— Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
Within seconds, Osiris’ heartbeat picked up—a signal his body was finally getting the oxygen it needed—and he became stable enough to transfer to the Seattle Children’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
When Osiris returned home nine days later, his family had gotten rid of their backyard pool.
Trauma cases on the rise
When baby Osiris arrived in the Emergency Department, it was a dramatic scene, says Dr. Shaina Schaetzel, one of the trauma surgeons on duty that night.
“We thought the medics had intubated him, but when he arrived, he didn’t have a definitive airway,” says Dr. Schaetzel.
Providence Everett is a Level ll Trauma Center for adults and a Level lll Trauma Center for pediatric care. As a Level III care center, it serves as a “stabilization point” for pediatric patients who may not survive the travel time to a Level II or Level I trauma center in Seattle.
While mom Christie slept before her night shift job, dad German watched their four boys. When German’s back was turned, one of his 20-month-old twins, Osiris, wandered to the backyard. Moments later, dad found his son unconscious in the pool and quickly pulled him out from the water. He began performing CPR, but it didn’t seem to be working. German gathered his toddler dripping wet and limp in his arms and burst into the bedroom where his wife was sleeping. Christie told her husband to call 9-1-1 while she continued CPR on her baby boy.
Osiris’ throat was swollen from the drowning and the attempts by medics at placing a breathing tube. When the hospital anesthesiologist couldn’t insert the tube either, Dr. Schaetzel knew they were running out of options. She performed a last-resort procedure—one she’d never had to do before on a patient so young. She made a cut in Orisis’ neck and put a breathing tube directly into his trachea. It’s a difficult procedure, especially on a tiny toddler.
“We were all scared, because we were at the end of the line of airway management,” says Dr. Schaetzel. “I’ve never had to do a trachea procedure on a 20-month-old and hope to never have to do it again.”
Dr. Schaetzel, and all of Providence Everett’s trauma surgeons, are double board-certified in trauma surgery and general surgery for critical care. With two surgeons available at all times for emergency trauma procedures, like Osiris’ tracheotomy, the Providence Everett trauma team is equipped for nearly any case that comes their way.
“This experience really opened my eyes to what they deal with at Providence Everett,” says Osiris’ mom, Christie. “It makes me grateful to have that level of care so close to home. Osiris wouldn’t be here without them.”
Dr. Schaetzel says her team routinely sees drownings from lakes and rivers, mostly in older children and adults. Trauma cases, of all kinds, at Providence Everett have more than doubled in the past five years.

A last resort, life-saving procedure
TRAUMA SERVICES
baby”
“Growing and developing our trauma services is not only my passion, but these services are also vital for our community,” says Dr. Schaetzel. “I want people to know they don’t have to go to downtown Seattle for trauma care.”
Providence General Foundation and generous community members are helping the trauma program at Providence Everett meet the growing demand through the Campaign for A Greater Providence Alongside investments by Providence Everett, more than $115 million are being infused into improving and expanding critical services, like trauma.
A miracle outcome
With the amount of time Osiris was without oxygen, brain function was a top concern.
“They’re calling him a miracle baby— he has no brain damage,” says Christie. “It looks like nothing ever happened. The only way you can tell is because he had a few stitches on his neck from the tracheotomy.”
Dr. Aaditya Singhal, the family’s primary care doctor at Providence Medical Group Clinic in Monroe, shares Christie’s relief that Osiris appears to have no lasting effects.
“He would not have survived without the trauma team,” said Dr. Singhal. Thanks to a team that was close, cutting edge, and willing to do whatever it took—one cute and curious little boy is doing just fine.
“I literally cried when I heard it was a good outcome,” said Dr. Schaetzel.

From Helipad to Healing
Breathtaking panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The whip of ocean air across your face. Sounds of birds calling in the distance. These picturesque pleasures are now just a few steps away for mental health inpatients at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett’s Colby campus.
A new, 1,600 square-foot rooftop patio provides patients in the inpatient mental health unit opportunities to heal outside the hospital walls. The unit has been at capacity since opening in 2021, with some patients receiving care for 90 to 180 days.
“Being part of nature is really part of the healing process—especially for patients who may be in the hospital for three to six months,” says Laura Knapp, Providence’s Director of Behavioral Health. “We’re really looking at whole-person care, how we can care for an individual’s full spectrum of needs. This new patio is a great resource to add to our approach.”
The Lapis Rooftop Patio sits on the site of the hospital’s former helipad, which has not been used since a new helipad opened atop the 12-story Cymbaluk Medical Tower more than a decade ago.
The reimagined real estate was a unique construction challenge for Mortenson, who built out the space. The area needed to be welcoming and serene, but also safe. It includes perforated safety panels with rolling tops to safely enclose the space, while allowing the natural beauty of the rooftop views to shine
through. Brightly colored organic shapes dance along the patio floor and walkway, while emergency telephones and medical equipment is safely stored nearby for hospital personnel. And most striking is a large mural on a back panel, tying all the elements of the design together.
Construction began earlier this year, and the patio opened early September—just in time for patients to soak up the last of the Pacific Northwest’s summer sun.
The patio project was predominantly funded by two key gifts—a $100,000 donation from Providence Medical Staff and a $630,000 donation from the Raynier Institute & Foundation—named for its founder James Widener Ray, a Seattle philanthropist and accomplished artist. The patio is named in honor of their founder’s love for art and affinity for mental health services.
Part of the funds from Raynier were specifically earmarked to commission the beautiful mural featured in the space for patients to enjoy.
This isn’t the first philanthropyfueled project to provide mental health services at Providence Everett.
In 2019, grants and donor support allowed Providence General Foundation to allocate nearly $400,000 for Providence Everett’s Behavioral Health Urgent Care Clinic. The clinic was the first of its kind in Washington, allowing patients emergency access to counselors and mental health resources in a more appropriate setting than the Emergency Department.
Thanks to generous donors, Providence General Foundation has also been able to fund pediatric mental health services, including pediatric therapists and social workers in primary care clinics, as well as mental health counselors for children served by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County.
Despite these investments, there’s still a long way to go to meet the growing mental health needs of our community, says Laura. Washington State currently ranks 46th and 43rd in the nation for adult and youth mental health services respectively, according to Mental Health America, which looks at the prevalence of mental illness compared to services available or accessible for each state.
With the ongoing financial challenges for regional hospitals, including Providence Everett, these projects would not have been possible without the generosity of donors.
“Especially because mental health services usually operate at a loss, we rely on partnerships with our community donors and foundations to stay afloat,” Laura says. “Your investments really do make a difference. If you look at all we’ve accomplished over the last seven years in our mental health services, all of it has only been possible because of philanthropy.”
You can help meet the need for mental health services with a donation.

cancer isn’t picky. It doesn’t care who you are.”
As manager of the Providence Comprehensive Breast Center, Laura Kendrick always strives to see things from a patient’s perspective.
From scheduling appointments, to providing detailed information and support to newly diagnosed patients, to advocating for the most innovative equipment, she has consistently worked to put herself in her patients’ shoes for the past 15 years as a Providence caregiver.
In April, Laura’s routine screening mammogram revealed an abnormality. A short time later, her doctor—and co-worker—broke the news: she had Stage 3 breast cancer. Just like that, the one who helped so many women through a shocking diagnosis like this, became the patient.
can’t happen to me”
“At first, I thought, ‘No, it can’t happen to me,’” says Laura, who is 51 years old with no direct family history of breast cancer. “In reality, breast cancer isn’t picky. It doesn’t care who you are.”
Breast cancer may not care, but when Laura shared her diagnosis with her schedulers, mammography technologists, medical assistants, nurse practitioners, and other colleagues she quickly discovered that many people do care about her.
“It was devastating news for our entire crew,” said Desiree Dunham, a mammography technologist.

Comprehensive Breast Center manager uses personal experience to further elevate care
Laura’s colleagues sprang into action, making meals for her family, offering encouragement, even organizing a fundraiser for the Comprehensive Breast Center in her honor.
“I had nothing but the largest show of love and support,” Laura said through tears. “It just made me feel like it’s the best team ever.”
Receiving care from “the best team ever”
Laura chose to receive her care at Providence, putting total trust in those she’s worked with for years. From leading-edge screening and diagnostics to innovative cancer care, she knew Providence was exactly where she needed to be.
“We have a great team here. I’m sure we would all feel comfortable placing our health in their hands,” said Trenia Corr Preus, medical assistant at the breast center.
“She couldn’t be in a better place,” says medical imaging assistant Carol Luxmore. “The radiologists, the doctors, and a team who loves her would do anything for Laura.”
During treatment, Laura decided she wanted every patient to experience the same feeling of support and concern she felt. She wanted her experience to inspire her colleagues to more deeply understand and empathize during each patient interaction. For instance, she wants every patient to receive a personal call the day after a biopsy or other procedure.
“Our patients love hearing from us to make sure they’re okay and don’t have questions or concerns,” says Trenia.
Laura noticed little things, too. She appreciated the robust cancer treatment book that newly diagnosed patients receive, thanks to Providence General Foundation donors. And now she thinks someone should take the extra step to page through it with patients to answer questions. She hated the elastic bandages she wore home from surgery. She plans to request donor funding from the Foundation for postmastectomy camisoles that are soft and can hold drainage tubes. Laura took note of each challenge she faced and came back to work with ideas for improving the patient experience.
“Laura has always been very aware of the needs of our department and our patients, and I think she will use this experience to make improvements that benefit both,” says Donna Ruff, mammography technologist.
Laura is also vocal about the importance of regular screening mammograms. Her annual mammogram caught the fast-growing cancer, and she urges everyone to stay current with screenings.
Laura’s treatment included a double mastectomy, six weeks of radiation, and a hormone blocking pill she’ll likely take for the next decade. She hopes cancer is behind her—and that it stays there. In front of her now is her team’s renewed commitment that every patient receives world-class care, close to home—just as she did.
Laura’s fellow caregivers organized a fundraiser in her honor. You, too, can honor someone special with your gift. Scan the QR code below to contribute to the “Fill the Bra” event. Donations will help Laura and her team provide patients with things like breast cancer treatment books, postmastectomy camisoles, and breast cancer screening and diagnostic services through the Comprehensive Breast Center Fund.

Taking Medicine to
Providence-WSU Internal Medicine residents merge medicine and Mission
Behind the stained glass and brightly painted murals at the “Rainbow Church” in downtown Everett is a sanctuary of a different kind, offering medical services for some of Everett’s most vulnerable.
Here, those who are experiencing homelessness, are uninsured, or too nervous to go to a clinic have doctors in training come to them. A partnership between the Providence-WSU residency program and nonprofit MercyWatch provides medical residents opportunities to augment their training through “street medicine” clinics at the Rainbow Church,
needle exchange sites, and out on the streets in MercyWatch’s mobile medical van.
Inside the church, a makeshift clinic sees medical issues that run the gamut: A woman who had a brain tumor removed years ago worries vision issues mean her tumor is back. Another who spent days walking from shelter to shelter in worn down sandals has ankles swollen to twice their normal size. A man who was hit by a car two days ago is still in pain.
“When I think back to my first day at MercyWatch, it reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses—‘Come
to me, all of you who are weary and burdened and I’ll give you rest,’” says second-year resident Dr. Nigel Jagoo. “We provide that for a community of people who are often overlooked and judged. Seeing how much trust has been built with them, simple gestures like a handshake or a hug—it’s re-ignited a fire in me for community medicine.”
Dr. Jagoo says he chose the new Providence-WSU residency program, which focuses on training doctors to serve in rural and underserved communities, specifically to get experience working with a wide variety of patients, and for its connection to Providence’s Mission.
10 RESIDENCY PROGRAM
the Streets
Dr. Dong Soon Choi, a second-year resident in the program, worked in a free clinic prior to medical school and appreciates the opportunity to continue similar work through the street medicine partnership.
“There’s such a need for these services in our community,” said Dr. Choi. “Helping people from all walks of life is why I chose this program.”
Sheila Murphy, CRNA, is the Medical Director of MercyWatch. She worked with WSU and Providence to develop this partnership when the new residency program began two years ago. She says meeting people where they’re at—physically and emotionally—is what it’s all about.
“The Providence-WSU residents are an integral part of all this work,” says Sheila. “I’m passionate about meeting marginalized people where they live. I wanted to show these incredibly talented doctors that
it’s not just about medical treatment, it’s about building trust, addressing their patients’ psyche, their homelessness, etc.”
Providence General Foundation has regularly helped fund MercyWatch’s medical outreach with things such as flu shots, and recently funded the purchase of portable supply kits—filled with gauze, antibacterial wipes, clean socks, and other often-used items—that medical residents can carry with them when working with patients.
“It can be really difficult to work on the streets when you have to transport supplies back and forth from the van to the patient you’re seeing,” said Dr. Jagoo. “The patient might be gone by the time you go get what you need and come back.”
Thanks to our generous donors, the medical residents are meeting the needs of our communty’s most vulnerable while marrying medicine and Mission into their future careers.

FROM THE CEO
Q&A with our new leader
Kristy Carrington, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, was recently appointed the interim Chief Executive of Providence Swedish North Puget Sound, which includes Providence Everett as well as Swedish Edmonds & Mill Creek campuses
Kristy is a seasoned leader who brings a nurse’s perspective to all her work. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Delaware and a Master of Business Administration from Pepperdine University. She has an excellent vision for how health care— and nursing in particular— can adapt to the realities we face today and ensure a promising future for Providence and Swedish.
Kristy has been in this role a little more than two months, now. We asked her about the latest changes and challenges in health care in our region.
Q: Tell us more about the Providence and Swedish partnership
Kristy: Providence and Swedish have been in the same family, working closely together, for more than a decade. What’s become more visible is the outward expression of that partnership, which is the new, combined name and logo. We believe this change makes it easier for our patients to identify, access and navigate our comprehensive network of care in the Puget Sound Region. It will help us retain and recruit top talent, make us more effective advocates for needed health care reforms, and give us a stronger, unified voice for those who are most vulnerable
Q: How will this new brand impact Providence General Foundation?
Kristy: Providence General Foundation and Swedish Medical Foundation will remain separate 501(c)3s. Each will continue to raise funds for the communities they serve.
Q: How is Providence Swedish weathering the financial challenges facing health care systems across the country?
Kristy: We are not immune to these complex challenges. The national shortage of health care personnel, combined with inflation and global supply chain disruptions, have driven up the cost of caring for patients significantly.
Providence Swedish is responding to the fast-changing health care landscape by freeing up resources for frontline caregivers to better serve our patients. We continue to look at ways to reduce costs and support our caregivers and patients, without sacrificing patient safety or employee morale.
Q: Nursing shortages, both here and across the country, have been in the news. What’s being done here to remedy this?
Kristy: This is one of my top priorities. We are so grateful for our nurses, and all our frontline caregivers, who have persevered through these past two-and-a-half years. We need more of them!
The U.S. simply does not have enough trained health care professionals to staff essential services and keep up with the need. We, along with health systems across the country, have had to rely on costly temporary traveling nurses as well as asking already exhausted caregivers to put in overtime.
Last year, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett agreed to a new contract with our represented nurses, which provides market competitive rates as well as a ratification bonus. The Providence system also implemented a $220 million workforce investment, including recognition bonuses to all caregivers, recruitment bonuses, and caregiver referral bonuses.
With input from our nurses, we are also exploring innovative ways to deliver care while we work to overcome the nursing shortage. We are all working together to help Providence Swedish be the best place to work and to receive care.
Q: What role does philanthropy play in these challenging times?
Kristy: Philanthropy is a gamechanger in times like these, and it directly impacts how we are able to care for patients. Generous donors have fueled Providence Swedish North Puget Sound’s advancements in new, innovative medical technology—even as we navigate such tumultuous times. Our physicians, nurses—and all caregivers—truly appreciate the community support. Not only does it directly impact the care we deliver, it’s also encouraging to know our community stands with us.

“I am so grateful to this community”
Carol Bjorg leaves a legacy through estate giving
The Bjorg family is a pillar of philanthropy in Snohomish County. For more than three decades Carol, her late husband Gordy, and their two adult children and spouses have generously given their time and treasure to better the community that has provided so much for them.
most successful businesses. As Gordy Sr. began to age, his son Gordy Jr. took over running the dealership. In 2021 the car dealerships transferred to Kendall Automotive Group, while the RV Center remained part of the family legacy, with Gordy Jr. and wife Donna as primary owners.
When Providence launched the Campaign for A Greater Providence in 2018, Carol along with Gordy Jr. and Donna made the decision to make a transformational investment in the project— donating a generous $2 million, part of which included an estate gift from Carol.
The family’s gift to the Campaign will help fund the new Providence Bjorg Family Neurosciences Center in the 1717 Building across the street from the Cymbaluk Medical Tower. The new space will bring together neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, and pain medicine specialists in a single location to provide leading-edge neuro care for the community.
While Carol says she’s typically one to shy away from public recognition for her philanthropy, she hopes her estate gift will inspire others to consider making a gift to Providence General Foundation. By including a bequest as part of her total Campaign giving, she says she’s able make the largest and most meaningful gift possible, while still allowing some financial flexibility in her retirement years.
“We have lived a wonderful life. We were so blessed,” says Carol. “I wanted my community and our customers that supported us and our business for so many years to benefit. That’s what you’ve got to do— support the people that supported you.”
Carol’s late husband Gordy worked his way up from salesman to owner and operator of Roy Robinson Chevrolet Subaru & RV Center, one of the county’s

Golfing FORE a Great Cause
Three Golf Tournaments this summer raised funds to support Providence!
The annual Everett Golf & Country Club Tournament was a huge success. Golfers enjoyed a great day on the course and generously supported cancer services and the Linda Baltzell Cancer Patient Assistance Fund.
The IRG Charity Golf Tournament chose Providence General Foundation once again as a charity partner for its 5th annual tournament, supporting Children’s Services.
And it was a record turnout to the Pink the Rink Golf Invitational presented by Safeway Foundation that benefited Providence’s Comprehensive Breast Center.
We’re so grateful for all who participated and helped raise critical funding for our patients.

Oars-ome Support of Breast Health Services
Rowing clubs from all over Puget Sound took to the water at Lake Union for the 2022 Seattle Row for the Cure to help raise funds for breast health services at Providence Everett and Swedish. The regatta had a great turn out and rowers got creative with fun, pink-themed team costumes. This is the second year we’ve partnered with Row for the Cure Seattle. Last year the organization raised funds for the Comprehensive Breast Center through the Pink the Boathouse fundraiser—thank you so much for supporting breast cancer services!

Wheels on the Waterfront
Celebrates 10 years
It doesn’t get much better than waterfront views and classic cars, trucks, and bikes on a summer Saturday, especially when it’s for a good cause! This year’s event raised more than $27,000 for the Cancer Patient Assistance Fund and the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership. A big thank you to the many volunteers, participants, and attendees who made the 10th annual Wheels on the Waterfront such a successful event!

Tarvinder Singh, MD
Dr. Singh grew up in India, where he first pursued a career in computer engineering. He thrived in that profession, working for tech giants like Oracle and Microsoft. But a midlife change of heart redirected his professional focus from computers to brains, and he became a neurologist.
Dr. Singh attended medical school and completed both his residency and fellowship in Neurology and Vascular Neurology at the University of Washington. At the end of his medical training, he joined the Providence team as an inpatient neurologist and now serves as the Medical Director of Neurology and Neurosciences.
