The amount of your donation that stays local.
I give because I believe in the missions of SwedishAmerican Health Foundation and our health system . . . every little bit helps. My donations aren’t going to build giant buildings, but they have the potential to make someone’s stay at our hospital better.”

Meet Jessica Holmes, Accreditation & Regulatory Specialist at UW Health SwedishAmerican. Since joining Swedes in 2016, Jessica has been dedicated to keeping patients and staff safe by ensuring we’re always prepared for regulatory inspections.
Jessica began supporting the SwedishAmerican Health Foundation during the construction of the Women’s & Children’s Tower — a turning point that inspired her to give back regularly.
“It was an easy way for me to try to make a difference for the health system.”
She sees the Foundation’s work as essential to equipping our care teams and facilities with the tools they need to provide the highest quality care.
Her message to others?
“Why not give back?! It’s an easy way to do the right thing and help make a huge impact on health care in our community!”
