SAVING LIVES

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. 

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.

Swedish proudly acknowledged their award-winning Issaquah ER staff with color newspaper ads 

that ran in several local publications. 

Swedish/Issaquah emergency 

department staff ranked in 

the top 5%. 

When 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

Early detection research provides hope for 

women at high risk 

The Rivkin Center teams with Swedish and the Hutchinson Center 

in screening for ovarian cancer. 

This 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 Swedish’s 

Cancer Institute Research Center. The 

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. “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 

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.” 

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.

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.”

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS 

Center 

M 

aria Coté received an un- 

welcome surprise around the 

time of her 40th birthday 

in 2001: After visiting her 

primary-care physician with 

what she thought might be 

two sprained ankles, which 

were giving her trouble walking, 

she was diagnosed with 

multiple sclerosis (MS), a 

chronic disease of the central 

nervous system that can cause 

disabling symptoms, including 

impaired vision, fatigue, 

muscle spasms and mental 

impairment. 

“When my primary-care 

doctor referred me to a neurologist, 

I was surprised,” remembers 

Coté. “I asked, ‘Isn’t 

a neurologist for the head?’ ” 

The neurologist she was 

referred to, Lily Jung, M.D., 

of Swedish’s Multiple Sclerosis 

Center, concluded that Coté 

was suffering from MS after 

conducting numerous tests. “I 

didn’t want to give Maria that 

diagnosis,” says Jung. “She 

is such an energetic and passionate 

person, and it’s always difficult to 

give someone that kind of news.” 

“My first question after finding out 

was, ‘Is it fatal?’ ” recalls Coté. “I had no 

idea what this disease was. When I was 

diagnosed, my three kids started doing 

school reports on MS to help themselves 

learn about it. Now they are pros.” 

More than 400,000 people in the 

Maria Coté received a surprising diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2001. Despite 

the obstacles, Maria is healthy and active, refusing to let MS slow her down. 

United States are battling MS — a high 

percentage of whom live in the northern 

states (including Washington). Researchers 

aren’t sure what causes the disease, or why 

more of its sufferers hail from the northern 

latitudes. As a national leader in the 

care of patients with MS, the Swedish 

Multiple Sclerosis Center is seeking 

answers, as well as more-effective treat- 

ments, through 16 ongoing 

research studies, while helping 

to make life more comfortable 

for patients living 

with MS through a host of 

support services. 

“If you’re going to be the 

best neurology institute, you 

need a strong MS center,” 

says former UW faculty member 

James Bowen, M.D., who 

has been medical director of 

the Swedish Multiple Sclerosis 

Center since 2008. Since his 

arrival at Swedish, Bowen 

and his team have seen significant 

growth in the number 

of patients receiving care 

there. “In 2008, we had 460 

returning patients and 235 

new patients. In 2009, we 

had 1,129 returning patients 

and 673 new patients,” says 

Bowen. He adds that the 

Center currently receives 

about 5,500 patient visits 

each year. 

One of the reasons for the 

increase in patients is the 

Swedish MS Wellness Center, 

which opened in March 2009 at Swedish’s 

Cherry Hill campus. The Center offers a 

full range of customized care and services, 

such as: 

– Medical treatments, including clinical 

trials, to alleviate symptoms 

– Nutrition consultations that teach 

patients how to eat for optimal health 

– Physical therapy, including assess- 

ment of each patient’s functional abilities 

and recommendation of an appropriate 

therapy program 

– Ongoing exercise classes, as well as 

a smoking-cessation program, to encourage 

health and physical fitness 

– Occupational therapy 

to support patients’ 

efforts to remain in the 

workforce or to help 

smooth their transition 

out of it 

– Counseling to help 

patients and their families 

deal with depression, 

stress and emotional issues related 

to MS 

– Educational opportunities for patients 

and their families, including an 

MS Wellness Lecture Series and MS support 

group 

“Providing comprehensive care and 

services to patients is important,” says 

Bowen. “Being in good physical and 

mental shape can help patients weather 

future problems. 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. 

Lily Jung, M.D., of 

Swedish’s Multiple 

Sclerosis Center, 

reviews brain scans 

with a patient. 

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.”

The Ben and Catherine Ivy 

Center for ADVANCED 

BRAIN TUMOR TREATMENT 

T 

he words “You have brain 

cancer” are usually followed by 

a grave prognosis for patients with 

glioblastoma, the most common 

form of the disease, which took the 

life of Senator Edward Kennedy in 

2009. Few patients survive more 

than three years. The newly named 

Ben and Catherine Ivy Center for 

Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment 

offers new hope: As the first multidisciplinary 

community-based treatment 

and research center in the 

Pacific Northwest dedicated entirely 

to treating brain tumors, it offers 

some of the nearly 17,000 Americans 

per year diagnosed with glioblastoma 

(as well as patients with other types 

of brain tumors) access to promising 

new therapies through groundbreaking 

clinical trials and research 

projects. 

“In the world of all cancers, brain 

cancers account for just a few percentage 

points, so those patients tend not to 

be the focus of most community-based 

hospitals,” says Greg Foltz, M.D., who 

in 2005 was recruited by Drs. Mayberg 

and Newell from the University of Iowa 

College of Medicine to form a new center 

focusing on the treatment of brain 

tumors (originally called The Center 

for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment). 

“Typically, a neurosurgeon in a community 

hospital might operate on 300 cases 

a year, 10 to 20 of which, at most, are 

brain cancer. It’s difficult for doctors in 

these settings to put a lot of energy toward 

addressing brain-cancer patients’ unique 

needs.” 

In 2008, The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation awarded a $4.4million 

research grant to launch the Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project 

(GAP). Here, Dr. Greg Foltz and Catherine Ivy discuss program 

goals for a video shoot promoting the Ivy GAP project. 

Rather than relying on existing braintumor 

treatments, which have limited 

success for glioblastoma patients, Swedish’s 

brain-tumor center was designed to pioneer 

new, personalized treatments that hopefully 

will improve the possibility of achieving 

long-term remission and survival. 

“We try to bring the latest scientific 

advances directly to the patient; for 

instance, in offering newly diagnosed 

patients the possibility of tailoring their 

treatment based on the unique genetic 

makeup of their tumor. There are only a 

few places in the country that are pioneering 

this approach,” says Foltz. “This 

blending of science with a patient-centered 

focus is very special to our Center. Scientific 

advances can take years to reach 

patients. By speeding this process up, we 

hope to discover something that 

can help our patients within the 

next two to three years.” 

A focus of the Center that has 

received national attention is the 

Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project 

(Ivy GAP). The Ivy GAP, launched 

in October 2009 in collaboration 

with the Allen Institute for Brain 

Science, is supported by funding 

from The Ben and Catherine Ivy 

Foundation. This unique project, 

slated for completion in 2013, will 

survey more than 1,000 genes in 

64 glioblastoma patients with the 

hope of compiling the data to create 

a comprehensive “gene atlas” of a 

brain tumor. The goal: to improve 

the understanding of the differences 

in brain tumors, allowing 

doctors to research where abnormal 

gene activity has taken place within different 

patients’ tumors and to match 

patients with the most-effective treatments. 

The ultimate aim is to provide a free 

public resource to scientists so they can develop 

more-effective drugs and treatments 

for patients for whom time is critical. 

“The Ivy GAP will accelerate our discovery 

of new brain cancer treatments 

and allow scientists around the world to 

focus on the genes that really matter in 

glioblastoma,” Foltz says. “Prior research 

has led to the identification of thousands 

of abnormal genes in glioblastoma. This 

project will allow us to prioritize which 

of those genes play important roles in tumor 

behavior. When completed, the Ivy GAP 

will give insight into how tumors differ 

from patient to patient.” 

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. 

The Ivy Center provides brain-tumor patients 

and their families access to a multi-disciplinary 

team of skilled neurosurgeons, oncologists, 

radiologists and specialized nursing staff.

TELESTROKE PROGRAM 

T 

he 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: 

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 

held a patient-education seminar 

on the emerging field of 

comprehensive stroke care. 

“This seminar included discussions 

about why a stroke patient 

needs to know the symptoms of a 

stroke and subsequently needs to 

get to an emergency room which 

has the capability to offer this 

treatment, as soon as they recognize 

the symptoms,” says Sherene 

Schlegel, RN, Swedish manager 

of Stroke/Telestroke programs, 

adding that all four Swedish campuses 

— First Hill, Cherry Hill, 

Ballard and Issaquah — are certified 

as Primary Stroke Centers by 

the Joint Commission. “At one point, a 

resident of one of Washington’s islands 

asked what her options were since she 

didn’t have ready access to such an ER. 

We didn’t have an answer for her at the 

time, but we were poised to respond 

when we were exposed to the telestroke 

program at Massachusetts General Hospital 

in 2006.” 

In search of solutions for patients in 

outlying areas, in 2006 Swedish signed 

a partnership agreement with Massachusetts 

General, a pioneer and national 

leader in the use of stroke telemedicine. 

With the generous support of the philanthropic 

community, Swedish committed 

to learning best practices from Massachusetts 

General and launched its Acute Telestroke 

Program, the first in this region. 

“Massachusetts General had a lot of 

expertise to share with Swedish. They advised 

us on the ways to execute telemedicine, 

including the infrastructure, processes 

and technology involved, allowing 

us to develop a unique program for our 

region,” says Tammy Cress, RN, Swedish 

director of Telehealth. Cress adds that the 

program has also received major support 

from Swedish’s Information Systems, Infor- 

Through a two-way videoconferencing link, Swedish is able to provide 

real-time assessment of patients at outlying hospitals. Here, a Swedish 

stroke specialist performs a “virtual” bedside neurological evaluation 

in collaboration with ER staff at a partner hospital. 

mation Technology and Radiology departments, 

as well as from GCI ConnectMD, 

an Alaska-based company that provides 

health-care organizations with connectivity 

and communication tools for exchanging 

information. 

Currently, Swedish’s stroke telemedicine 

program is operating at the hospital’s 

Issaquah and Ballard campus ERs 

and at four additional Washington hospitals: 

Central Washington Hospital in 

Wenatchee, Skagit Valley Hospital in 

Mount Vernon, Jefferson Healthcare in 

Port Townsend and Lake Chelan Community 

Hospital in Chelan. “Our relationship 

with these hospitals is to be 

on-call round the clock and to provide 

telemedicine support for patients who 

come into their emergency rooms with 

acute stroke symptoms. We also provide 

telephone support to them on stroke 

cases in which they wish to discuss 

medical management, specifically sorting 

through whether select cases would 

benefit from transfer to Swedish for specialty 

care,” says Cress. 

Dr. William Likosky says his team is 

eager to share its expertise beyond the 

walls of its own hospital for the benefit 

of patients in other communities. 

“Swedish has invested a great deal 

to build a distinguished stroke 

center, and we have a well-trained 

and caring group of people,” says 

Dr. Likosky. “Studies have demonstrated 

that you can evaluate an 

acute stroke patient via teleconferencing 

virtually as well as being 

there. The participating ER doctors 

are receptive to the advice and 

insight offered by our providers. 

We play a consultative role.” 

According to Dr. Likosky, telemedicine 

programs like the one at 

Swedish are crucial if doctors are 

to provide timely and comprehensive 

care to patients when time is of the 

essence, or when travel may not be possible. 

“Physicians in specialties which 

are not well represented throughout our 

region are now able to extend their care 

to patients in outlying facilities. The 

benefits into the future are enormous as 

we create a Washington community in 

which expectations for sophisticated 

treatments become a reality irrespective 

of where one chooses to live.” 

“The technology is complex, but with 

the collaboration with experts in Information 

Technology, we are able to provide 

access to advanced technological platforms 

enabling physicians to provide 

appropriate advice to facilitate treatments,” 

says Jamile Mack, SNI senior program 

manager/technology. 

This groundbreaking program continues 

to grow as Swedish speaks to other 

hospitals in the region that are interested 

in partnering in telemedicine relationships 

to bring specialty care that otherwise might 

not be available to their communities, 

says Cress. i

LEGACY 

Swedish Cancer Institute’s Division of Thoracic Surgery

advanced thoracic surgical care. Since then it has rapidly developed 

into a strong and vibrant program, offering a complete

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

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. 

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.”

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. 

A 

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). 

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

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 Swedish- 

American 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. 

Sincerely,

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 Seattle’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.

firsthand the great 

care provided by the nationally 

renowned physicians

will offer heart patients a 

multidisciplinary hybrid procedural 

suite, an integrative

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.
