Your Impact

When you give to UW Medical Center – Montlake, you make a direct impact on the health of the community. Here are just a few of the ways you can make a difference:

Help care for patients with severe heart disease.

Your gift in support of cardiovascular care will increase our capacity to care for patients with the most serious heart conditions — many of whom are unable to get care elsewhere due to the complexity of their condition.

Provide lifesaving organ transplants.

Your gift will support the only hospital in Washington state that performs transplants of all organ types, giving new hope to patients with organ failure.

Save the lives of the most fragile preterm babies.

Your support of UW Medical Center – Montlake’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) will expand our services, ensuring all families and babies in our region can access this highly specialized care.

An Integrated System Leads to Better Outcomes

UW Medical Center – Montlake is part of an integrated health system, where clinical care is supported by innovative research and education. Integrated health systems deliver better outcomes, especially for patients with complex, serious conditions.

Our patients have access to leading evidence-based treatments, including clinical trials and therapies that may not yet be available elsewhere.

We drive innovative research and implement new solutions to improve healthcare access, whether that means building an ICU specifically for neurology patients or providing hospital-level care to patients in their own homes.

We provide critical, hands-on experience for medical students, residents and fellows — and our educational programs are working to meet the region’s current, and future, care needs by addressing the coming physician shortage.
