MAKING A 

DIFFERENCE 

2008 

REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 

TOGETHER

MISSION 

Improve the health and well-being 

of each person we serve. 

VISION 

Demonstrate the highest-quality, 

best-value health care. 

VALUES 

Patient-centered; respect, caring and compassion; 

teamwork and partnership; continuous learning and 

improvement; leadership.

FROM THE CEO 

One of the best things about my job is 

hearing from patients who were so impressed 

by the care they received at Swedish that they 

took the time to call or write me, as the CEO, 

to say thank you. Often these letters and calls – 

and I get a lot of them – mention a 

physician, a nurse, or the members 

of a medical team by name. Sometimes 

they describe acts of clinical 

competence that made a dramatic 

difference in a patient’s life, a diagnosis 

that cleared up months of uncertainty, 

or a potentially painful procedure 

done so skillfully that the patient 

was able to move past discomfort and anxiety 

and begin to focus on healing. 

Just as often, however, these personal 

stories simply describe how Swedish caregivers 

went out of their way to help patients, to 

smooth over a difficulty, to provide a human 

touch, or to offer words of encouragement 

when they were needed. Both of these types 

of “grateful patient” stories make me proud to 

work at Swedish. 

Delivering health care of the highest 

quality certainly means bringing together in one 

place all of the skilled caregivers and technology 

needed to assess and treat every kind of illness 

and injury. At Swedish, however, we also know 

that quality care means staying focused on 

comforting, reassuring, and meeting the emotional 

needs of our patients. As Swedish evolves 

and grows as a regional medical center, it is central 

to our mission that we continue this tradition of 

delivering exceptional, patient-centered care. 

I am confident that we will. Swedish’s 

extraordinary success at keeping this core value 

alive in our hospitals and clinics for a hundred 

years is due largely to the fact that, from the 

beginning, the many talented 

people who have worked here have 

been influenced and inspired by 

philanthropy and community 

support. 

And so, I want to pass on 

to you – the people who believe 

in Swedish and who generously 

donate your time and money to 

make us stronger – not just my own thanks 

but some of the gratitude that I receive regularly 

from our patients. 

Right now, our country is facing some 

very difficult economic times, and Swedish is 

not immune to these difficulties. In the year 

ahead, Swedish and the people it serves are 

likely to have an even greater need for your many 

contributions. I hope we can continue to count 

on your support. With your help, and with the 

hard work of our employees, I am certain that 

Swedish will get through these hard times and 

remain both a great medical center and a 

resource that makes a difference for our 

community.

Dixie, “that I am truly blessed.” 

Always on the leading edge 

Swedish’s well-respected position at the 

forefront of cancer treatment was again reinforced 

last year, when the SCI became the first 

cancer center in the United States to introduce 

VMAT (volume modulated arc therapy). 

VMAT, which significantly reduces radiation 

to normal tissue while increasing dosage to 

the cancerous area, is now the most efficient 

and most precise system ever developed for 

radiation treatments. 

It is this uncompromising dedication 

to patient health that led to the Swedish Cancer 

Institute being recognized, in late 2008, with 

the Outstanding Achievement Award with 

commendation by the American College of 

Surgeons, Commission on Cancer. This is the 

highest level of achievement possible for a 

hospital cancer program. Without the passion 

and commitment of the philanthropic community, 

milestones like these and many others 

would not be possible.

SWEDISH 

HEART & VASCULAR INSTITUTE 

The Swedish Heart & Vascular Institute 

(SHVI) continues to explore the frontiers of 

leading-edge care which allows our caregivers 

to provide new and exciting solutions to oftencomplex 

heart and vascular problems that have 

earned us the trust of thousands of patients. In 

2008, nearly 14,000 people sought treatment 

from SHVI specialists – with good reason. 

“I’ll be forever grateful for the professional 

care and personal attention I received at Swedish 

when I had a heart attack,” said one grateful 

patient and donor, Marilyn Prince. “I credit the 

expert staff for saving me and giving me an 

opportunity to continue on with my life. I give 

praise to every facet of my care.” 

The clinical quality so critical to positive 

patient outcomes is reflected in the time it takes 

from the moment an acute heart attack victim 

arrives at Swedish to the time the problem 

artery is repaired. The national goal is 90 minutes. 

Dr. Sarah Speck works with a patient at the Center for Cardiovascular Wellness at Swedish’s Cherry Hill Campus. 

We provide the treatment in as few as 48 minutes, 

and we are sharing our expertise with other 

hospitals. The result: more lives are being saved. 

In 2008, the SHVI hosted the inaugural 

Transcatheter Valve Therapeutics (TVT) 

conference, just one example of Swedish’s 

commitment to education. This international 

forum – the first of its kind – brought together 

more than 350 cardiologists and surgeons to 

promote a multidisciplinary approach to repairing 

complex structural and valvular heart 

problems. The Seattle Science Foundation 

co-hosted the conference. 

Glenn Barnhart, 

M.D., medical 

director of Cardiac 

Surgery since 

November 2007, 

led the SHVI’s minimally 

invasive valve 

surgery program to 

a position of prominence 

in 2008. Dr. 

Barnhart is a national leader in using small 

incisions and advanced technology to repair 

heart valves, and he and his colleagues offer 

Swedish patients some of the most sophisticated 

surgical options available anywhere. 

Donor support is invaluable 

Critical to all of the SHVI’s ongoing 

advances – in areas ranging from prevention 

and diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation – 

is philanthropic support. The community’s 

support helps the SHVI set new standards in 

patient care, by developing and acquiring the 

newest technologies, advancing cardiovascular 

research, and expanding its leadership role in 

cardiovascular wellness. 

Multi-specialty collaboration between a Vascular Surgeon, 

Interventional Cardiologist and Interventional Radiologist help determine 

the best treatment options for patients. 

A heart-healthy future 

At present, an estimated 1.5 million 

Washington state residents have some form of 

heart disease that requires medical care and 

that number is climbing. With the help of its 

donors, Swedish is attempting to reduce the 

risk and impact of cardiovascular disease. 

COMMUNITY service: The SHVI’s Center 

for CardioVascular Wellness has long embraced 

heart health as a 

community-wide 

goal, and is now 

combining its care 

of cardiac and lungdisease 

patients with 

a strengthened commitment 

to preventing 

these disorders from 

ever occurring. Partnerships 

with other 

organizations and their 

employees are a key component of this focus. 

HYBRID OPERATING ROOM: A 2009 

priority is the SHVI’s Center for Advanced 

Cardiovascular Integrated Treatment, a hybrid 

operating suite that will feature multiple technologies 

in one room, making procedures more 

efficient and eliminating the need to transfer 

patients to other locations for specialized services. 

The Swedish Heart & Vascular Institute, 

which is affiliated with more than 60 cardiac 

and vascular specialists, is committed to staying 

at the forefront of cardiovascular medicine. 

By working together, we strengthened that 

commitment in 2008.

NEUROSCIENCE INSTITUTE 

8 

Patients with malignant brain tumors 

have traditionally lacked hope for a healthy 

future, as these tumors, especially rare types, 

are usually considered untreatable. Change 

is on the way, however – accompanied by 

renewed hope and a realistic opportunity for 

better patient outcomes. 

With strong, committed donor support, 

the Swedish Neuroscience Institute (SNI) 

opened the Center for Advanced Brain Tumor 

Treatment in 

2008 lead by 

Greg Foltz, M.D. 

The Center is 

a multidisciplinary 

clinic 

that gives 

patients immediate 

access to 

neurosurgeons, 

oncologists and 

radiologists, as 

well as leading-edge clinical trials and a comprehensive 

research laboratory. 

Launched with a cornerstone gift of 

$2 million from David and Sandra Sabey and 

Family, the Center is one of several visionary 

projects funded by the more than $4 million 

in philanthropic support the Neuroscience 

Institute received in 2008. Donations also 

supported our multiple sclerosis (MS) and 

epilepsy programs, patient education, and the 

expansion of our regional stroke program. 

Stroke telemedicine 

A year after establishing the region’s 

first stroke telemedicine program, which was 

funded entirely by philanthropy, the SNI 

again relied on donor support to expand the 

TeleStroke program to ensure that patients 

in rural communities benefit from our stroke 

expertise. 

The initial effort linked Swedish’s 

Ballard and Issaquah emergency departments 

with stroke 

specialists on 

the First Hill 

and Cherry Hill 

campuses, so 

patients with 

stroke-like 

symptoms could 

be diagnosed 

and treated 

quickly, ultimately 

leading 

to better outcomes for patients. 

In 2008, philanthropy allowed us to 

extend TeleStroke links to Jefferson Hospital 

and Skagit Valley Hospital – and provide the 

gift of health to an ever-widening number of 

stroke patients. We anticipate several more 

community hospitals joining the Swedish 

Stroke Telemedicine program in 2009. 

The Swedish Neuroscience Institute offers patients access to the latest technology 

and treatment options for the full spectrum of neurological conditions.

ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUTE 

On June 23, 2008, after five years of 

planning and construction, the state-of-theart 

Swedish Orthopedic Institute officially 

opened and began welcoming patients to its 

new 372,000-square-foot facility on the First 

Hill campus. Ten technologically advanced 

operating rooms and a specially trained staff 

allow Swedish to perform more orthopedic 

procedures than any facility in the Northwest, 

offering an improved lifestyle to patients from 

within the region and beyond. 

Consider Alex Polson and his wife, 

Dinny, who are both committed to active 

lifestyles. He walks and bikes, she is an avid 

golfer – but, in their early 80s and early 70s 

respectively, they also have experienced the 

agony of aging joints. Relief was as close as

WOMEN & CHILDREN’S 

In every aspect of pregnancy and childbirth, 

Swedish perinatal and pediatric care teams 

rank among the very best, exactly what you 

would expect from a hospital that delivers more 

babies than any other

nearly 8,000 in 2008. 

And with donor support, 

we’ll continue to 

improve. 

In early December,

FROM THE FOUNDATION 

I am very pleased to report that 2008 

was a great year for Swedish Medical Center 

Foundation. This Annual Report describes many 

of the successes that we – and by “we” I mean the 

many donors, sponsors, volunteers and staff 

members who work so hard on behalf 

of Swedish Medical Center – accomplished 

last year. 

In 2008, we raised close to 

$14.7 million for Swedish programs 

and activities, the most in our history. 

Perhaps the best thing about last year 

was the breadth of the support we 

received, with more new donors and 

a larger number of individual gifts made than 

ever before. A series of very successful fundraising 

activities and events contributed to this total, as 

Celebrate Swedish 2008, the Women’s Wellness 

Luncheon, and Swedish SummerRun all set new 

records for attendance, for money raised, or for 

both. In June, we inaugurated another annual 

event, the Seattle Brain Cancer Walk. Participants 

in the Walk raised more than $120,000 for brain 

cancer research at the new Center for Advanced 

Brain Tumor Treatment at the Swedish Neuroscience 

Institute. 

Under the leadership of Dr. Hochman, 

we celebrated openings of the Center for 

Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment and the 

Gossman Center for Advanced Pediatric and 

Perinatal Simulation. Both of these additions 

to Swedish, and to the medical resources of the 

Pacific Northwest, were strongly supported by 

philanthropic contributions. Each is an example 

of the role that philanthropy can play in 

sustaining a world-class health care provider. 

These accomplishments, and many other 

successes during this banner year, would not 

have been possible without the thousands of 

donors and volunteers who stepped forward 

and supported us. Throughout the pages of this 

report, you will find stories about 

some of the people who worked at our 

events, who served on our boards and 

committees, or who made donations, 

large and small, to keep Swedish 

strong and growing. Each of the 

16,857 gifts we received in 2008 was 

a gratifying and inspiring vote of 

confidence in Swedish – and each 

made an important contribution to our record 

year. To all who gave, I say thank you on behalf 

of the staff of Swedish Medical Center Foundation 

and everyone who works at Swedish. 

As we move into 2009, Swedish, like our 

community and our country, is facing financial 

and economic challenges that are unprecedented 

in more than a generation. I hope that, in the 

months ahead, each of you will realize how 

critical your support has been to Swedish and 

how much your generosity is going to be needed 

as this great medical center confronts difficult 

times and takes a leadership role in ensuring 

that the best possible medical care continues 

to be available to people and families who live 

in the region we serve. 

Don Theophilus 

Executive Director, Swedish Medical Center Foundation and 

Vice-President, Development 

16

On the pages that follow, we gratefully acknowledge the 

thousands of corporate and individual donors who gave so generously 

of both time and treasure to Swedish Medical Center in 2008. 

With your help, we are able to continue our goal of making Swedish 

the leading health care delivery system in the region. 

Our heartfelt thanks.

MEMORIAL GIFT 

WILL ADVANCE 

BRAIN TUMOR 

RESEARCH 

MARJORIE KADANER 

was determined to honor 

her daughter, BARBARA 

KADANER SIEGEL, whose 

life was cut short by a brain 

tumor. The only question 

was, “How?” An answer 

would come four years after 

Barbara’s 2004 death, when 

Marjorie learned of Swedish’s 

plan to establish a Center for 

Advanced Brain Tumor 

Treatment. “I knew then that 

we could make a difference 

in the lives of patients facing 

this devastating disease while 

also honoring the memory of 

my daughter,” says Marjorie, 

who made a $100,000 gift 

in early 2008 to support the 

Center’s research. A plaque 

in Barbara’s honor is now 

displayed in the brain cancer 

research laboratory.

NEW FUND FOR 

CHILDREN WITH 

PARENTS 

BATTLING CANCER 

George and Elizabeth Denison, R.N. 

Swedish radiation oncology 

nurse ELIZABETH DENISON, R.N. 

AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS 

are making a difference in 

the lives of families impacted 

by the devastation of a cancer 

diagnosis. With a gift of 

$50,000, they established 

the George Denison Fund 

for Children to support 

patients with young children 

who face significant 

financial difficulties while 

in treatment. The fund was 

created in memory of 

Elizabeth’s husband, George, 

who cared deeply for the 

well-being of children. 

This crucial fund provides 

financial assistance for 

child care, transportation, 

school supplies and other 

non-medical needs to help 

maintain living arrangements 

and provide comfort 

and stability to young 

family members indirectly 

affected by cancer.

NICU FUNDRAISER 

PURCHASES SAFE, 

COMFORTABLE 

RECLINERS 

Swedish’s Neonatal 

Intensive Care Unit (NICU) 

treats more than 800 sick or 

premature newborns each 

year. Now, thanks to a 2008 

fundraiser held at the home 

of Annette and Jim Alling, 

new moms visiting their 

babies in the NICU can 

sit and nurture them in 

Kangaroo recliners – the 

safest and most comfortable 

way to hold very small, or 

very sick, newborns. The 

$10,000 donated at the Fall 

fundraiser paid for four of 

the high-tech recliners, plus a 

laptop computer for expectant 

mothers to use while on 

bed rest. This fundraiser was 

organized by the MARCH OF 

DIMES PARENT MENTORS at 

Swedish, ANNETTE ALLING,

DONATE RECORD 

AMOUNT IN 2008 

Dr. Marty Siegel, 

Chair of the Swedish Board of Trustees 

The 2008 SWEDISH FUND 

DRIVE raised more than 

$240,000 from 830 donors, 

with every dollar staying at 

Swedish to provide quality 

care and meet the needs of 

patients and employees alike. 

Of the total, $52,000 was 

pledged to support the Mother 

Joseph Clinic to help meet its 

need for new equipment, 

including a fluoroscope. The 

Swedish Foundation would 

like to extend its deep appreciation 

to Dr. Marty Siegel 

and his wife Mimi who made 

a challenge gift of $50,000 to 

match every new donor to the 

Swedish Fund Drive this year. 

To date, there are 20 

Swedish employee and physician 

members of the Founders 

Circle, an annual giving 

society that recognizes those 

who give $10,000 or more 

annually, and 76 employee and 

physician members of the 

Summit Club, an annual 

giving society that recognizes 

those who give $1,500 or more.

nicu baby 

grows up,

When Kaitlyn Wiggins 

was born at Swedish, she 

spent a month in the 

Neonatal Intensive Care 

Unit (NICU) before becoming 

an inpatient in the 

Pediatrics ward. Happily, 

once Kaitlyn went home 

she did not experience any 

lingering health consequences. 

Kaitlyn is now an energetic 

11-year-old and a Junior Girl 

Scout. To earn her Bronze 

Award, the highest award 

for a Junior Girl Scout, 

Kaitlyn spent eight months 

collecting new stuffed animals 

for children receiving 

treatment at Swedish. She 

made posters, sent out postcards 

to friends and family, 

and even had a collection 

bin at a Starbucks. Thanks 

to Kaitlyn’s efforts, 63 

stuffed animals were given 

to children at Swedish.

Planned gift is 

all in the 

family 

PETE JOHANSON has 

a strong family connection 

to Swedish. His great 

uncle, Dr. Nils Johanson, 

founded Swedish Hospital 

in 1910. When making his 

estate plans, Pete included 

Swedish as a beneficiary. 

His bequest is his way of 

“giving back” and was made 

in honor of his grandfather, 

father and great uncle. 

Access to good healthcare 

is as important to Pete as it 

was to his relatives. “When 

something goes wrong with 

my health, Swedish is where 

I go,” he says. Pete is proud 

that his relatives have served 

on the Swedish board. His 

hobbies include writing, 

computers and “staying 

healthy.” Swedish is grateful 

for Pete’s bequest and we 

will do our part to keep 

him healthy.
