"In 2008, Swedish provided over $20 million in charity care"
As a nonprofit organization, Swedish relies heavily on community partnerships and the support of those who believe in our nonprofit mission of providing the very best care to every person we serve — regardless of their ability to pay.
A crucial part of serving our mission is Swedish's charity care program. In 2008, Swedish provided over $20 million in charity care to our patients. We are committed to providing charity care to all who need it.
Swedish's Charity Care Program:
- Offers free or discounted hospital services for those who cannot afford care, many of whom are underinsured of have no insurance at all.
- Provides financial assistance in cases where the yearly family income is between 0% and 350% of the federal poverty level.
- Ensures that financial constraints are not a barrier to the provision of care.
