Strengthening our community

Our roots as the greater Seattle community’s partner in health run deep: For decades, we’ve joined forces with countless organizations to address homelessness, food insecurity, domestic violence, addiction and chronic illness. In the past 5 years, Providence Swedish has invested more than one billion to improve the health in our region and bring a deeper sense of well-being to our more vulnerable citizens.

"Building a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve strengthens our ability to deliver on health equity, the basis of all our quality pillars."

Arooj Simmonds, Chief Medical Officer, North Division

"The commitment to DEI and Providence Swedish is unwavering. We want to ensure that our caregivers know that whatever their needs are, this is where they belong."

Jackie Thomas-Hall, Chief Diversity Officer, North Division

Caregiver Resource Groups

We encourage all caregivers to participate in Caregiver Resource Groups (CRGs). As a member, you can build communities of belonging, advocacy, and allyship. It is also an opportunity to develop professionally by participating in formal projects and programs.
