Ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country byU.S. News & World Report magazine, Children’s serves as the pediatric referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho.
We're a private nonprofit providing excellent patient care with compassion and respect, and conducting cutting-edge pediatric research. We are also a respected educational resource for parents and healthcare professionals.
Since we opened our doors in 1907, we have maintained our founding promise: to provide needed medical care to all children in our four-state region – regardless of a family's ability to pay.
The need for such uncompensated care has risen dramatically in recent years. In 2001, we provided $24.9 million in uncompensated care. In 2008, the sum topped $86 million, and we expect to provide more than $100 million in uncompensated care in 2009 to families in need and to cover Medicaid payment shortfalls.
