Swedish Medical Centers mission is to improve the health and well-being of each person we serve. A crucial part of fulfilling this mission is our financial assistance (charity care) program. This program offers free or discounted services for those who cannot afford care, are underinsured or have no insurance at all. The program provides financial assistance in cases where annual family income is between zero and 400 percent of the federal poverty level, and ensures that financial constraints are not a barrier to receiving medically necessary care.
The following listings include providers who follow the Swedish financial assistance policy. Providers that do not follow the hospitals financial assistance policy may have their own financial assistance policies, so please contact the provider directly if you have any questions regarding their policies.
At Swedish, we believe patients should have accurate and easy-to-understand information to make the best health care decisions for themselves and their families. It's an integral part of our mission to make a difference in people's lives by improving the health and well-being of each person we serve by providing excellent patient care.
At Swedish, our commitment is more than something we strive for. It's reflected in everything we do. It's part of who we are, and it begins with our dedication to our patients and the health of our region.
Swedish is committed to creating a culture that values patient safety above all else. This is evidenced in the way we provide ongoing training to our staff of more than 10,000 employees, with an emphasis on error prevention tools, techniques for clear communication, and team support exercises.
Since our founding more than 100 years ago, Swedish has grown into the Greater Seattle area's largest, most comprehensive medical system. We think we've also become the best hospital to work for in the Pacific Northwest.
We are proud to foster a vibrant, supportive work environment, with individualized orientation, continuing education and ongoing opportunities for professional advancement. We also reward our people with generous compensation and benefits.
When you work at Swedish, you work alongside some of the most skilled and dedicated professionals in health care. You also work in one of the most desirable areas in the country, in the heart of the Northwest and at the leading edge of medicine.
Together, we create a culture that values quality on behalf of the patient and empowers staff to take action. You only need to look as far as the patient-safety huddles that take place daily at our campuses to alert team members to potential safety issues, and how they make immediate course corrections. It quickly becomes evident that Swedish is truly a unique organization.
