Campaign still seeking gifts for critical needs down the “Homestretch” The Campaign for Swedish began over five years ago on January 1, 2007, with an ambitious goal of improving the care we provide to patients in some of the most important areas of health care, including Women & Infants programs, cardiovascular care, cancer and the neurosciences. The response from the community has been overwhelming. Below are just a few facts and figures that highlight how much our friends and neighbors value the important role Swedish plays in the overall health of our region:

year. Today, Swedish benefits from nearly $20,000,000 annually in community support. While we are grateful for the overwhelming support we have received, we are not yet declaring victory. We will continue to rely on support from the community to meet some of our most pressing needs. Over the course of the next 15 months — through December 31, 2013 — we are entering the “Campaign Homestretch.” Gifts generated during the Homestretch period will be used to support a wide variety of programs throughout the health-care system. Additional support is needed to achieve remaining priorities, as well as to meet the increased patient volumes generated thanks to new programs and services created during the Campaign. On behalf of the community, thank you for helping us reach our initial $100,000,000 goal and making Swedish a destination for world-class care. Together, we’ll make a lasting impact on the health of our community.
