True Family Women's Cancer Center

Help put the best minds, the latest technology, and caring support all in one convenient place.



A Better Way to Treat Women with Cancer

The more our best and brightest minds in women’s cancer can collaborate about a case, the better treatment plan that’s likely to result. This isn’t a new idea, and the physicians at Swedish have long made it a part of their practice to share their thinking with their peers.

But a wall or a sidewalk can be a serious impediment to collaboration. So by building the True Family Women’s Cancer Center, the top specialists in women’s cancer care will be in one place for one purpose: to use their combined expertise and the most advanced technology to help more women survive cancer.

At the same time, this center will serve as a calm, supportive place for women. It’s a different way of treating cancer, and a welcome one whose time has come.

Thanks for getting us started

Swedish would like to extend a special thanks to the families and community organizations who have kicked off the creation of the True Family Women’s Cancer Center by donating significant leadership gifts to fund more than $6 million of the $10 million total cost.
