Seattle Children’s is defined by three simple words:
HOPE
CARE
CURE
Seattle Children’s delivers superior patient care, advance new discoveries and treatments through pediatric research and serve as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho – the largest region of any children’s hospital in the country.
In 2025, U.S. News & World Report again named Seattle Children’s among the top 10 best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and the best in the Pacific Northwest. U.S. News & World Report has recognized Seattle Children’s as a top children’s hospital every year since it began ranking medical centers more than 30 years ago.
Through the collaboration of physicians in nearly 60 pediatric subspecialties, Seattle Children’s provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services – regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
Proceeds from Auction of Washington Wines benefit Seattle Children’s in two important areas:
Uncompensated Care
When families come to Seattle Children’s, one thing they’re seeking is hope. For those whose kids are embarking on a medical journey, hope takes the form of financial assistance — so parents can focus on the health of their child, rather than the cost of restoring it.
Gifts to the Uncompensated Care Fund offer families welcome relief during some of the hardest days of their lives. Last year, Seattle Children’s provided more than $272 million in care not covered by insurance or Medicaid, so children in need can count on compassionate, expert care at Seattle Children’s — where the path to a treatment or cure is not defined by a family’s insurance plan or financial resources.
With the support of donors like you, our founding promise to the community is as valid today as it was over a century ago. We will care for every child in our region, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Thank you for ensuring that promise endures forever.
