3 Our Vision of the Future Continue Our Legacy of Care

4 Founding of Seattle Children s Children s was founded in 1907 by Anna Clise after the death of her young son from inflammatory rheumatism. The founding vision of Children s, that all children should receive care regardless of the complexity of illness or injury and their ability to pay, still holds true today.

5 Growing Seattle Children s 2004 Our research efforts expanded with the move to dedicated facilities in South Lake Union to eventually become one of the nation s top five pediatric research centers. Seattle Children s Research Institute is dedicated to making breakthrough discoveries that help prevent, treat and cure childhood disease.

6 Growing Seattle Children s 2004 The Janet Sinegal Patient Care Building expanded inpatient beds to a total of The Melinda French Gates Ambulatory Care Building opened to meet increasing demand for outpatient clinics.

7 Growing Seattle Children s Building Hope provided additional beds for our most critical patients

8 Outreach and Regional Services Seattle Children s is the regional pediatric referral center for children in the northwest

9 Our Mission We provide hope, care and cures to help every child live the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible.

10 Our Vision Seattle Children s will be an innovative leader in pediatric health and wellness through our unsurpassed quality, clinical care, relentless spirit of inquiry, and compassion for children and their families. Our founding promise to the community is as valid today as it was over a century ago. We will care for all children in our region, regardless of their family s ability to pay.

11 Methods for Success This house symbolizes Children s approach to success by always placing Patients and Families first, supported by an emphasis on Quality, Cost, Delivery and Safety. The foundation of the house relies on the engagement efforts of our staff.

12 Service Standards Seattle Children s expects that we all follow these levels of service so we can continue to provide quality care.

13 Diversity Children s has developed five strategic goals in the area of diversity: A diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. An environment that reflects our values of inclusion. Providing effective and respectful care compatible with the health beliefs, practices and preferred languages of our patient. Connections with our community through outreach, community service and employee volunteerism. Fostering work/life balance.

14 Commitment to High Quality Family Centered Care Family Centered Care means that we treat family members as active partners in the care of their children.
