The Campaign for Swedish was launched in January

2007, with the vision of improving care and treatment

options for patients throughout our community. I am very

pleased to announce that the community has contributed

over $103 million for patient care through the The Cam-

paign for Swedish, exceeding our initial goal more than 17

months ahead of schedule.

This incredible outcome is a testament to you. Many

of the more than 50,000 donors who have contributed

to The Campaign for Swedish to date are grateful for the

outstanding, and in many cases, live-saving, care that you

have provided. And, many of the Campaign’s donors are

members of the Swedish family — more than $11.8 mil-

lion has been raised by Swedish physicians and over

$1 million has been given by fellow employees.

Your daily work treating patients — and your own gen-

erous gifts — have helped launch more than 40 major

programs and projects at Swedish during the last five-

and-a-half years, spanning nearly every area of care.

While the community’s generosity is humbling, there is

still much work that needs to be done.

During the next 14 months of the “Campaign Home-

stretch” period, the Swedish Medical Center Foundation will

continue to seek additional gifts to both sustain existing pro-

grams and to support new initiatives like The Lytle Center for

Pregnancy & Newborns, which will offer access to comprehen-

sive care for expectant families and provide an array of much-

needed postpartum services for new mothers and their babies

both before and after they are discharged from the hospital.

We look forward to the community’s continued support

of The Campaign for Swedish, and to your continued partner-

ship in making Swedish a destination for world-class care.

On behalf of the 2,000,000 patients who have benefited, thank you.

The Campaign for Swedish began over five years ago on January 1, 2007, with an ambitious goal of improvingthe care we provide to patients in some of the most importantareas of health care, including Women & Infants programs, cardiovascular care, cancer and the neurosciences. Theresponse from the community has been overwhelming. Beloware just a few facts and figures that highlight how much ourfriends and neighbors value the important role Swedish plays in the overall health of our region:

While we are grateful for the overwhelming support we have received, we are not yet declaring victory. We will con-tinue to rely on support from the community to meet someof our most pressing needs. Over the course of the next15 months — through December 31, 2013 — we are entering the “Campaign Homestretch.” Gifts generated during the Homestretch period will be used to support a wide variety of programs throughout the health-care system. Additional support is needed to achieve remaining priorities, as well as to meet the increased patient volumes generated thanks to new programs and services created during the Campaign.

On behalf of the community, thank you for helping us reach our initial $100,000,000 goal

and making Swedish a desti-nation for world-class care.

Together, we’ll make a last- ing impact on the health of our community.

Highlighting a“Campaign Homestretch” priority:

The Lytle Center for Pregnancy & Newborns

The newest “Campaign Homestretch” initiative, The

Lytle Center for Pregnancy & Newborns, has been named

for a generous $1 million leadership gift pledged in Sep-

tember 2012 by longtime Swedish

supporters and Campaign Leader-

ship Council members Chuck and

Karen Lytle. The goal of the Center

is to serve as a unique community

resource for new mothers and their

babies, who will have convenient

access to a full-spectrum of prenatal

and postpartum care and services.

Construction on the new Lytle

Center is expected to begin in early

spring 2013 in a 5,000 square-foot,

ground-level space located at the

south entrance to the First Hill

campus.

When it opens in summer

2013, The Lytle Center, which will

be staffed by a team of specialists, including RNs, ARNPs,

social workers, medical assistants and patient educa-

tors, will include dedicated spaces for postpartum follow-

up wellness visits and lactation consultations for mothers

and babies. The Lytle Center will also contain areas for

educational programs, fitness activities, community

and patient support groups, and retail sales of physician-

recommended items and products.

Current plans also call for a new

children’s playground facility to

be located on the patio adjacent to

the Center, which will provide

younger children with a fun, safe

play area during family visits.

The Swedish Medical Center

Foundation is committed to raising

an additional $4 million through

The Campaign for Swedish to sup-

port construction and program

development for this important

project. The Lytle Center for

Pregnancy & Newborns will be

the fund-a-need focus at Celebrate

Swedish, Swedish’s annual fund-

raising gala event, which will be held on April 27, 2013.
