from the CEO

A century of caring Every nonprofit organization can trace its roots back to two things: a need and a passion. For Swedish, the passion came from Dr. Nils Johanson, a surgeon who emigrated from Sweden more than a century ago. Though there were other hospitals in Seattle at the time, Dr. Johanson believed strongly that the community needed cleaner, more sterile facilities to perform surgery safely and protect patients from the spread of infection. Recognizing that need, he opened Swedish Hospital in 1910. Dr. Johanson managed the hospital with an uncompromisingly high standard for the practice of medicine Dr. Nils Johanson and patient care, and was committed to making sure the latest advances in health care were available to the people of this community. As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Swedish this year, I am proud to report that his legacy and commitment to excellence remain at the core of our organization today. Following in his footsteps, we continue to seek ways to improve the delivery of health care. For example, we are using electronic health records to improve quality and safety for our patients. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are using “telemedicine” technology to make it possible for specialists at Swedish to consult remotely with doctors in rural hospitals and underserved communities throughout the state. Philanthropic support has also allowed us to bring robotic-assisted technology into our operating rooms to ensure greater precision during surgery and faster recovery for patients. The Greater Seattle region has grown tremendously over the last 100 years and Swedish has grown with it. As a nonprofit, we are committed to meeting the growing health-care needs of the region and are working hard to make health care closer and more convenient to where people live and work. That’s why we’re partnering with community hospitals, such as Stevens in Edmonds; expanding to highly populated suburbs in need of medical facilities, such as Mill Creek and Issaquah; and recruiting more primary-care physicians to serve in neighborhoods throughout the region. Meanwhile, our commitment to the underserved remains stronger than ever. Swedish provides more than $71 million in community services and activities, including $21 million in charity care, $39 million in Medicaid subsidies, and $11 million in health screenings, education, research and other community-benefit activities. We have also implemented new models for delivering care to the uninsured and underinsured, including our Mother Joseph Clinic for specialty care and our Community Medical Home in Ballard for primary care. Dr. Johanson would be proud knowing that today Swedish remains at the forefront of many medical specialties, including the neurosciences. At the Swedish Neuroscience Institute our team is making a meaningful difference in the lives of many patients struggling with serious conditions, such as brain cancer, the effects of stroke and multiple sclerosis. I encourage you to read the feature story in this issue of IMPACT to learn more about this important work. Reaching the 100-year milestone is something we are very proud of, and it would not have been possible without generous support from the community. Thank you for sharing our passion for making quality health care available in our region. It has been a privilege to have your support, and we look forward to the next 100 years. Warmest regards,

Rod Hochman, M.D.

Swedish/Issaquah ER wins national top performer award On TV, when things go wrong in the ER, they win an Emmy. In real life, when things go right in the ER, they win one of these.

Swedish/Issaquah emergency department staff ranked in the top 5%.

You’re looking at the 2009 Press Ganey Summit Award. And, while you’ve probably never heard of it, if you ran a hospital you certainly would. That’s because the Press Ganey organization studies more than 10,000 healthcare facilities in the U.S. The 74 that delivered exceptional patient satisfaction scores three years in a row won this award — and that’s exactly what the Swedish/Issaquah ER just did.

What makes Swedish patients happy? For starters, instead of making you wait in the lobby, you’re almost always ushered right into a treatment room. There are no long delays to see a doctor either — Swedish guarantees the doctor will be with you in 30 minutes or less. Truth be told, Swedish didn’t win this trophy. The men and women who work at this remarkable, efficient, patient-friendly place did. They’re the real stars of the show. And, while they may never win an Emmy, they definitely deserve a standing ovation.

hen you think of emergency rooms, “patient satisfaction” probably isn’t the first phrase that comes to mind. At the Swedish/Issaquah ER, however, patient satisfaction is a top priority — and now the ER is being recognized for it. The Swedish/Issaquah ER was recently named a 2009 Summit Award Winner by Press Ganey Associates. The ER received this award by achieving and maintaining patient satisfaction scores in the 95th percentile or above for at least three years. The Press Ganey Summit Award, bestowed annually, is the health-caresatisfaction industry’s most coveted symbol of achievement. Press Ganey currently partners with more than 10,000 healthcare facilities — including over 40 percent of U.S. hospitals — to measure and improve the quality of their care. “We are proud partners of the Swedish/ Issaquah ER, which has maintained a very high level of patient satisfaction over the past three years,” said Richard B. Siegrist, Jr., president and CEO of Press Ganey. “Their efforts benefit the Greater Issaquah community and lead to improved delivery of health care.” i

his past summer, the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research, in collaboration with Swedish Medical Center and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, opened enrollment to the Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Screening Program. The program, formerly administered by the Hutchinson Center, is now administered by Swedishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cancer Institute Research Center. The 4

purpose of this screening program is to test whether CA-125 blood tests and annual ovarian ultrasounds help detect ovarian cancer early in women at increased risk. Participation in this program is free and is funded by the Rivkin Center. The screening program also provides information and resources to assist researchers in finding additional blood markers that might complement the CA-125 blood test in diagnosing

ovarian cancer at an early stage. The program can be especially comforting and empowering to participants who have a family history of two or more blood relatives with breast or ovarian cancers. One such participant is Rachel Prouser Marenstein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My maternal grandfather was diagnosed with breast cancer, and my mother tested positive for the BRCA2 mutation, so I knew how important it was for me and

RIVKIN my brother to be tested. When I turned 30, I was tested and discovered I was positive,” she says. “This program is so important not only because it gives me the opportunity to provide researchers with information and tools that they need to further their research in early detection, but because it offers me a ‘safety net’ for my own health. I had no second thoughts about participating — the choice was obvious.”

New Web site reflects the Rivkin Center’s growing program The Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research Web site has a new look — it now features the latest news on ovarian cancer research, expanded information on Rivkin Center researchers, special events listings and much more. “We are very excited to introduce our new Web site. It has been redesigned to better reflect the growth of our organization as a nationally recognized funding leader for novel ovarian cancer research,” says Clint Burwell, executive director. “As our program continues to grow, we want to provide greater resources for the community.”

Pamela Paley, M.D., Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Program principal investigator.

Today, ovarian cancer remains the leading cause of gynecological cancer deaths in the United States. “Early detection for ovarian cancer is extremely important because today more than 70 percent of women are diagnosed in late stages when the cancer has spread outside the ovary. Survival rates are highest when ovarian cancer is detected early and still confined to the ovary. If ovarian cancer could be detected earlier, fewer lives would be lost to the disease,” says Dr. Pamela Paley, who heads the screening program. Dr. Paley has been providing gynecologic care in Seattle since 1997 and focuses on patients and families at risk for hereditary cancers, including ovarian, breast and colon cancers.

ience Institute sets the pace for patient care nationwide Michelangelo is said to have remarked,

“A man paints with his brains, and not with his hands.” The words of the Renaissance-era master emphasize the importance of our brains to our quality of life and to the lives of our communities and society as a whole. In the Northwest, we have a unique assortment of resources to draw from — partly thanks to Seattle’s forward-thinking biomedical-engineering community — to make a difference in the lives of the estimated 50 million Americans a year suffering from neurological disorders. In fall 2004, Swedish Medical Center put into action a plan to do just that, when it set out to establish the Swedish Neuroscience Institute, now a recognized world-class center for neurological health. Swedish recruited two experts in the field to head up this effort: Marc Mayberg, M.D., previously chairman of neurological surgery at The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, and David Newell, M.D., previously professor of neurological surgery at UW and chief of neurosurgery at Harborview Medical Center. Their objective was to create a multidisciplinary center for neurological disorders: a facility where several specialists would take care of one patient and provide a seamless continuum of care. A little more than five years later, the Swedish Neuroscience Institute is an award-winning facility, combining a $30 million, stateof-the-art center — which includes four operating suites featuring the most advanced minimally invasive, computer-as-

sisted neuro-surgical and brain-imaging techniques — located on Swedish’s Cherry Hill campus, with more than 30 of the best and brightest minds in neurological medicine. “When a patient comes to our Institute, they can see all of the doctors they need to — including neurosurgeons, neurologists and other physician specialists — in one appointment,” says Mayberg. “Our offices and clinics are grouped together, and our research programs and initiatives are coordinated. This means the patient leaves with a consolidated treatment plan — a much better method than having to make several appointments with different specialists.” The Institute’s multidisciplinary approach benefits future neurological patients as well as current patients, as research is a key component. “In addition to giving patients the opportunity to receive stateof-the-art care in one ultra-modern setting, we have 40 to 50 active research programs that enable patients in our region, as well as nationally and internationally, to have access to promising treatments and be among the first to benefit from emerging medical breakthroughs,” says Newell. He adds that patients have come to SNI not only from Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho, but also from the East Coast, Hawaii, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, England and Cyprus. “Because we are so involved in highlevel research, we are on the cutting edge of technology and scientific advancements in clinical care,” says Mayberg. “We’re bringing in new clinical trials, new devices and new treatment protocols to offer

greater hope and better outcomes for patients.” Future goals for the Institute, in addition to growing the staff, investing in the latest technologies and tools, expanding clinical research, and continuing to provide fellowships and educational opportunities, target the following three areas: – Expansion of the 10 current multidisciplinary programs (brain tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, epilepsy, neuroendocrine, neuro-ophthalmology, spine, brain hemorrhage and pediatric neuroscience) and the addition of programs the Institute doesn’t currently offer, including cognitive disorders and neurobehavioral science – Expansion of the telemedicine program, which utilizes closed-circuit television to allow patients suffering from conditions such as stroke to access the Institute’s top neurological experts – Expansion of the Institute’s wellness programs, which, in the case of MS, currently provides patients with advice on lifestyle factors such as nutrition and exercise The goal of these efforts is to offer increasingly personalized and high-quality care to neurological patients, say the Institute’s founders — a goal everyone associated with the Swedish Neurological Institute is completely focused on. “The group working with us has exceeded all expectations,” remarks Newell. “There is an esprit de corps among the people who work here, centered around a desire to give patients the best care we can.”

I tell patients, if you’re physically fit and you have an attack that makes you weak, you could still be in reasonable shape. But if you’re a couch potato, you could end up in really bad shape. “MS is a very complicated disease and a difficult one to treat, because the distribution of symptoms is random and every patient is affected differently,” continues Bowen. “The disease has so many symptoms and challenges that patients are a moving target. It’s not like being in a car wreck, where if you have

disabilities, it’s a one-time deal and you can adjust. With MS, people can continue to have attacks and get worse, and we have to adjust their therapy accordingly.” Maria began the nonprofit dog rescue FurKidz 911 Connection with the help of her husband, Don. Shown here with volunteer Abde Elshafei (far left), the group has successfully found “forever” homes for many fortunate animals.

Maria Coté is one of the Center’s success stories. After battling depression for two years following her diagnosis, she decided she wasn’t going to let MS control her life. Since the MS Wellness Center opened, she has taken advantage of many of its services, including a nutrition consultation, exercise classes and physical therapy, in addition to running the MS support group. “I can do things like exercise and eat well, but it helps to have guidance and motivation,” says Coté, who works part-time in IT for the City of Seattle and runs a nonprofit dog rescue, FurKidz 911 Connection.

Another source of motivation is the Swedish Smyelin Babes bike team. As an active member, Maria participates in the annual Bike MS Ride — a two-day tour through Skagit, Whatcom and Island counties sponsored by the Greater Northwest chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, during which cyclists ride courses ranging from 22 to 92 miles. (The 2010 ride will take place on September 11 and 12.) Participants raise money to support MS research, programs and services. Jung started the Swedish team in 2005 with a patient who liked to cycle and four other friends; by 2009’s race, the team had grown to 80 people, including Coté and 17 other MS patients and many Swedish staff members. The team raised an impressive $80,000 dollars for the National MS Society. “The ride is really awe inspiring,” says Jung. Jung adds: “Maria works despite the fact that she suffers from symptoms, including dizziness and vertigo, on top of being a mom. She gives her all to everything she’s involved in. Maria is an example of someone who has reached deep inside herself and figured out how to cope with this disease.” w w w. s w e d i s h f o u n d a t i o n . o r g

impact

The Swedish Neuroscience Institute attracts the best and brightest in the field of neurological medicine. Here, surgeons assess a patient’s brain tumor.

One patient who would have been extremely interested in the Atlas Project is the Center’s namesake, Ben Ivy, who succumbed to glioblastoma on Thanksgiving Day 2005. By all accounts, Ben Ivy was an exceptional man. The Everett High School graduate excelled at both academics and business, earning a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Cornell and an M.B.A. from Stanford before becoming a successful financial planner in Palo Alto, California. In 2000, he wed Catherine, also a financial planner. Ben’s first symptom of his illness was a numb thumb; four months later, he lost his battle with glioblastoma, leaving his wife with a mission to help others diagnosed with the same tragic disease. Catherine soon founded The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation — the largest private braintumor foundation in the United States — and in 2008 contributed a $4.4-million research grant that made the Ivy GAP project possible. “For the Ivy Foundation, patients are at the core of all the research we support,” says Catherine Ivy. “To be meaningful, the ultimate goal of all research must be to impact the clinical care of patients by improving diagnostics and treatment. We hope the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project will do just that. Information from the project will be made publicly available to researchers throughout the world so they can use it freely in their own studies. This project honors the memory of my late husband and our dedication to doing everything we can to reduce the suffering of patients diagnosed with a brain tumor.”

Reflecting on his first meeting with Catherine Ivy in 2007, Dr. Foltz says, “When I read the Ivy Foundation’s mission, I realized it was a perfect marriage with our own. Ben Ivy is a great example of why we need to do something for this disease. He was a terrific, accomplished man who lost his battle with glioblastoma very quickly and would have benefited from all the things we’re doing.” He adds, “Everyone involved with the Center is totally focused on how we can positively impact the future for these patients. Discoveries can come from the most surprising places, and if we’re not completely focused, we might miss an opportunity. When I meet a patient who potentially has a two- to three-year chance of survival, I tell that patient, ‘We have two to three years to find solutions.’ ” The Ivy Foundation honors the memory of Ben Ivy.

Thanks to generous support from the philanthropic community, the Swedish Neuroscience Institute has quickly become a nationally renowned center of excellence, committed to working with experts in the field to develop scientific advances and provide hope for patients with conditions previously believed to be untreatable.

Swedish TELESTROKE PROGRAM

The day before Thanksgiving 2009 began

as an ordinary one for James Howard, a 56-year-old resident of Wenatchee, Washington. But in the early afternoon, while he was in the shower, the unexpected happened: First Howard felt his face begin to tingle, followed by a numb sensation in his left arm and leg and a feeling of weakness. Alarmed, Howard rushed out of the shower and asked his wife, Carla, to take him to the emergency room at Wenatchee’s Central Washington Hospital. “At first I didn’t know what the symptoms were, but when my arm and leg went numb on the left side, I figured out I was probably having a stroke,” recalls Howard. Scott Stroming, M.D., the attending ER physician at Central Washington Hospital, evaluated Howard and, after ascertaining a stroke was in progress and potentially reversible, made a crucial decision: 12

I M P A C T W I N T E R 2 010

Consult the stroke experts at Swedish Medical Center’s Neuroscience Institute (SNI). Many hospitals may not have a stroke specialist on staff or available during time-critical situations. Videoconferencing technology enables the Swedish team to provide immediate diagnosis and treatment suggestions to physicians caring for such patients. In this case, immediate access to specialty care was available because Central Washington Hospital is one of a growing number of institutions participating in SNI’s Acute Stroke Telemedicine Program, which connects Swedish physicians with facilities in outlying areas of the Northwest through a live, secure videoconferencing connection, augmented by high bandwidth computer connections that also permit the Swedish physician to review the brain images to further assist in the diagnosis. In the case of stroke — which affects

approximately 700,000 Americans a year and is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States — immediate consultation with a stroke expert can significantly improve a patient’s functional outcome. Stroke experts, such as the team at Swedish, work with referring physicians collaboratively to provide a “rescue treatment,” a drug called alteplase (or a “clot-buster” drug). Alteplase can improve a stroke patient’s recovery by 30 percent — but only if it is administered within the first 4.5 hours after a stroke occurs. James Howard was one of the lucky ones: Dr. Stroming, in consultation with members of Swedish’s Acute Telestroke Team — William Likosky, M.D. (medical director of the Swedish Stroke/ Telestroke programs), and Michael Fruin, ARNP — decided that Howard was a good candidate for this drug treatment, and he is expected to make a full recovery. Without treatment, many persons in a similar situation may have long-term neurological problems such as weakness, paralysis or speech problems, which may prevent them from working or living independently. “I had no idea this resource was available in Washington state,” says Howard. “In years past, I probably would have been transferred to a hospital across the state, and it might have been too late.” But now, stroke patients can use technology to get help from an expert during the 4.5-hour treatment window. The idea for expanding the Swedish Stroke Program into a Telestroke Program dates to 2004, when Swedish

LEGACY Swedish Cancer Institute’s Division of Thoracic Surgery was established in 2000 in response to a growing need for advanced thoracic surgical care. Since then it has rapidly developed into a strong and vibrant program, offering a complete range of thoracic surgical procedures with an emphasis on

thoracic oncology, benign diseases of the esophagus and minimally invasive approaches to thoracic surgery. Recently, the Division received two very special gifts from members of our community who wanted to honor their physicians for the wonderful care they received.

Two grateful patients honor thoracic surgery at Swedish Legacies continue through generous estate gifts.

lan Crowe’s interactions with Swedish began when he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. Friend Joe Saldin often accompanied Alan to his appointments and said that before he came to Swedish, Alan was given little hope. “Thanks to the doctors and staff at Swedish, Alan was given optimism. While he knew there wasn’t a cure, Alan was made to feel like the remainder of his life could be high quality, productive, and most important, happy.” To show his gratitude, Alan included a generous charitable bequest for the Swedish Division of Thoracic Surgery in his estate plans.

wedish Medical Center was where Shirley Miner’s children and two of her grandchildren were born — but Swedish became even more important to Shirley when she was diagnosed with mesothelioma. Grateful for the care she received at Swedish, Shirley made a gift of stock through her IRA and included a bequest to Swedish in her will. Her gifts were made in honor of the doctors who cared for her and were directed to the Thoracic Surgery Education & Research Fund. Swedish is grateful to Alan, Shirley, and the many other generous supporters of the Division of Thoracic Surgery. “Community partnerships are vital to the success and growth of our program, and the fact that these gifts were made in gratitude for the care they each received makes them incredibly meaningful to us,” says Dr. Eric Valliéres, surgeon in the Swedish Division of Thoracic Surgery. “These gifts will help us continue to develop our research efforts and improve thoracic surgery for future patients.” To support Swedish’s Division of Thoracic Surgery, contact Kate Purcell at (206) 386-3194 or kate.purcell@swedish.org. i

Goertzen donation brings new life to First Hill lobby

Cascading purple forms in Carmine Seaform with Persians and Windsor Emerald Lip Wraps, by Seattle artist Dale Chihuly, greet visitors in the First Hill lobby, thanks to a generous donation from Dr. Eugene and Sue Goertzen.

Chihuly work latest addition to Swedish’s comprehensive collection.

s a mid-career plastic surgeon practicing at Swedish, Eugene Goertzen began visiting the studio of a local artist whose star was just beginning to rise. Eugene’s wife, Sue, a former student of art history at the University of Washington, shared her husband’s enthusiasm for the innovative work Dale Chihuly was producing at his early hot-shop studio in the Van de Kamp Building near Lake Union. The Goertzens began collecting Chihuly’s work, adding his bold contemporary forms to their extensive glass collection. In 1987 they commissioned him to create a large sculpture for Eugene’s clinic, Plastic and Reconstructive Institute of Seattle (PARIS).

I M P A C T W I N T E R 2 010

That sculpture, Carmine Seaform with Persians and Windsor Emerald Lip Wraps, became the centerpiece of the lobby, delighting patients and staff alike. When Eugene retired 10 years ago after 35 years of practicing medicine, he closed the PARIS space on the 12th floor of the Nordstrom Tower. Inspired by Dr. Allan Lobb, Swedish’s first executive director (and a talented sculptor), the Goertzens decided to donate Carmine to the Swedish art collection. Like Dr. Lobb, Eugene and Sue believe there is great value in sharing artwork with patients and families in a healing environment. In December 2009, Carmine was in-

stalled in the Swedish First Hill lobby, joining over 1,500 works of art that comprise the collection at Swedish Medical Center’s campuses at First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard and Issaquah. The diverse art collection includes works by accomplished artists from the Pacific Northwest and the entire Pacific Rim, as well as works by emerging regional artists. Carmine’s intertwined plumcolored forms cascade along a narrow path, greeting patients and capturing the imagination of all who visit and work at Swedish. i If you would like to contribute to the Swedish Art Fund, please contact Becca Kelly at becca.kelly@swedish.org or call (206) 386-2138.

from the FOUNDATION

This year, 2010, is an important and historic one for Swedish Medical Center, as we celebrate the June day, 100 years ago, when Swedish began providing high-quality health care to people in the Puget Sound region. There is much to be proud of in this century of growth and service, and some of Swedish’s accomplishments and milestones are described in this issue of IMPACT. In the years since Dr. Nils Johanson and 10 other SwedishAmerican Seattle residents opened the 24-bed nonprofit Swedish Hospital, a key factor in Swedish’s steady growth has been the willingness of people from the community to give both their time and money to support activities, improvements and enhancements that allow Swedish to care for our community. Through the decades, our supporters have helped us to continually renew Swedish so that it has remained a place where people from our region who face serious medical problems know they will find the finest facilities, the latest medical technologies, and the highly skilled, dedicated, and humane caregivers that have made Swedish a national leader in delivering world-class, patient-centered care. This tradition of philanthropic support for Swedish reached a new and inspiring level in the year that just ended. Total contributions to Swedish Medical Center Foundation for 2009 were almost $17.5 million, exceeding our previous high by close to 20 percent. To date, we have received more than $8 million in gifts and pledges toward our $10 million goal for the True Family Women’s Cancer Center and nearly $7 million for The Ben and Catherine Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute. This unprecedented level of generosity has occurred during challenging economic times for our country, for Swedish, for our patients and for many of our donors. We have been humbled by this outpouring of support and sacrifice. Swedish, like many of you, has had to tighten its belt since the economic downturn began. The pattern of reduced revenues and rising medical costs that is being felt throughout our national health-care system has forced people at every level at Swedish to find ways to do more with less in order to remain true to our tradition of providing exceptional care to our patients on a daily basis. I am proud to report that both Swedish and our Foundation are succeeding in meeting these challenges, and that we are both hopeful and optimistic about Swedish’s future as it enters its second century of service. Some of the major improvements we have accomplished or are planning for Swedish are described in these pages, and I can’t emphasize enough how much of the optimism and excitement that underlie these stories is attributable to the enthusiasm and generosity of you, our donors and volunteers. To each of you, at every level of support, please accept our thanks for all that you do and have done on behalf of Swedish. In the coming months, we will be holding events to celebrate Swedish’s centennial. I hope that each of you will find the time to be a part of this celebration and that, as you celebrate, you will realize you are also honoring yourselves. Each of you is a vital part of Swedish and of the long tradition of generosity and philanthropy that has kept this great medical center growing for 100 years. Because of you, and with your continued support, we look forward to sustaining Swedish Medical Center as a vital health-care delivery resource for our children and grandchildren well into the future.

On the pages that follow, we gratefully acknowledge the thousands of corporate and individual donors who gave so generously to Swedish Medical Center in 2009. Thanks to each of you, we are able to continue the goal of making Swedish the leading health care delivery system in the region. Our heartfelt thanks to you, our partners.

Sincerely,

Don Theophilus Executive Director, Swedish Medical Center Foundation and Vice President, Development

Chris Elliott lost his battle against glioblastoma in 2002, but his legacy continues through the Chris Elliott Fund for Glioblastoma Brain Cancer Research.

Chris Elliott Fund for Glioblastoma Brain Cancer Research The Chris Elliott Fund (CEF) for Glioblastoma Brain Cancer Research is a non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Chris and Dellann Elliott which focuses on raising awareness through education, advocacy and research. Today, CEF provides resources, information and support for people living with brain cancer. Specifically, CEF funds groundbreaking research in the Christopher S. Elliott Neuro-oncology Lab for Glioblastoma Brain Research and Applied Cancer Science Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Mass. In 2009, the Chris Elliott Fund launched their Integrated Patient Support Program at the Swedish Neuroscience Institute where they provide a multitude of services and outreach for the brain cancer patient. In addition, CEF made a $300,000 pledge to support the Chris Elliott Fund Patient Support Specialist at The Ben and Catherine Ivy Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment in Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swedish Neuroscience Institute. The Patient Support Specialist is dedicated to easing the stress upon patients and their families following a brain cancer diagnosis, and Dellann has helped the Specialist launch patient support groups to help brain tumor patients understand there is now hope for a cure to this disease and to talk about the advancements available at the Ivy Center.

ithin the walls of the True Family Women’s Cancer Center will be yet another wall. Constructed entirely of wood, each commemorative block will carry a personal inscription or message of strength from a donor. If you’d like to include a inspirational message on the “Wall of Hope,” please contact Gwen Colwell at (206) 215-3034 or gwen.colwell@swedish.org.

How do you tell a two-pound preemie, “Sorry, we’re out of room”? If any of the 8,000 babies born at Swedish each year need extra help in the days after their birth, Swedish has the technology and expertise right down the hall at the most experienced Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the state.

Unfortunately, that NICU is often full, which is why Swedish is adding 15 beds as soon as humanly possible. That’s a $3.7 million proposition, and one that will only happen with the aid of private donations. So, if you’re a mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or anyone else who thinks our most vulnerable patients should have the chance to begin life on a healthy note, your financial support is greatly needed. Large or small, your contribution will make an enormous difference for the community, for Swedish, and for every newborn who needs the NICU’s kindhearted and invaluable help.

To learn how you can help, please visit swedishfoundation.org or call 206-386-2738.
