Honor Your Physician!
Have you ever wished you could thank your doctor, but didn’t quite know how? Visit our “Honor Your Physician” website, where you can write them a note of thanks. While there, you can also make a gift to the place where they work — allowing UW Medicine to provide exceptional care for other patients and families. Help celebrate National Doctors’ Day on March 30 by honoring your physician!

The 20th Anniversary of UW Medicine Salutes Harborview
With the Western Washington Toyota Dealers Association as our presenting partner, the 20th anniversary of UW Medicine Salutes Harborview was celebrated in style on February 25, 2012. The sold-out room — including co-chairs Jeffrey and Susan Brotman, Steve and Connie Ballmer, Bill and Mimi Gates, and Erik and Julie Nordstrom — helped UW Medicine raise more than $1.6 million for Harborview’s mission of caring, the commitment shared by all UW Medicine physicians and staff to provide the best care to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.
See the inspiring videos — of lives saved and lives restored — that we showed at Salute. And if you’d like to support Harborview, it’s not too late. You can give today!

Thank you, Safeway!
Over the past year, Safeway has given more than $1 million to support work in breast cancer care and research done by Seattle Cancer Care Alliance — a collaboration of UW Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children’s. Their support is helping us make significant progress in the fight against cancer. On behalf of SCCA patients and their families, we extend our deepest thanks to Safeway, its managers, and its customers.
