Seattle Children's exists because for too many children, the odds are stacked against them. Since 1907, this organization has been fighting relentlessly to ensure there's no such thing as "out of options" and that kids who "didn't have a chance" can have the childhoods they deserve. As one of the nation's top five pediatric research centers and top 10 pediatric hospitals, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho - the largest region of any children's hospital in the country.
Every year, Seattle Children's team of over 10,000 employees, 2,000+ medical staff, and 500+ volunteers delivers compassionate care to more than 500,000 patient visits, regardless of a family's ability to pay. Their research division pioneers breakthrough treatments in cancer therapies, genetics, neuroscience, immunology, infectious disease and bioethics - working to cure childhood disease and improve outcomes for children worldwide. U.S. News & World Report has consistently recognized Seattle Children's as a top children's hospital every year for over 30 years, honoring them as the best in the Pacific Northwest and among the top 10 nationally.
