Northwest Hope & Healing Foundation (NWHH)

Northwest Hope & Healing was founded by Christine Smith in 2000, roughly 2 months after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The mission she envisioned from the beginning is the same today:  to provide financial assistance to local women in need who are battling breast and gynecological cancer at the Swedish Cancer Institute.

Our Patient Assistance Fund provides assistance for everyday living expenses such as child care, groceries, reliable transportation, and emergency rent. Our signature “Healing Boxes” are assembled and delivered, at no charge, to local women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer at all Swedish Cancer Institute Campuses.

Northwest Hope and Healing is a 509(a)(3) Supporting Organization of Swedish Cancer Institute; our EIN number is 20-0799737. All donations are fully tax-deductible.
