Uncompensated Care at Seattle Children's Hospital

Seattle Children’s Hospital
Although Seattle Children’s saw fewer patients visits than expected this past year because of the pandemic, the economic downturn across the nation means the need for uncompensated care remains high.  In 2021, Children’s provided $246 million in care to families with limited or no resources to pay their medical bills. 

Seattle Children’s Hospital is a pediatric center located in Seattle, Washington. Ranked as one of the best children’s hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report and Child magazines, Seattle Children’s serves as the pediatric referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. The hospital provides excellent patient care with compassion and respect and also conducts cutting-edge pediatric research. In addition, the hospital serves as a respected educational resource for parents and healthcare professionals alike.
Since 1907 Seattle Children's mission has encompassed excellent pediatric patient care, education, research and child advocacy with a commitment to provide care for children regardless of the family's ability to pay. The hospital believes all children have unique needs and should grow up without illness and injury. With the support of the community and through the spirit of inquiry, Seattle Children's will prevent, treat and vigorously attempt to eliminate pediatric disease. 

Funds from the Seattle Festival of Trees benefit uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s, which provides quality medical care to children in the Northwest.  Thanks to the continued generosity of our sponsors and community supporters, the hospital is able to continue this worthy mission.
