It's a reminder of the powerful impact of collective generosity.

During her New Day visit, Rassilyer-Bomers shared how the generosity of our donors to the Swedish Foundation helps sustain lifesaving investments in numerous key areas at Swedish, including our neo-natal intensive care unit as well as support for research; professional development for our nursing staff; and vital health equity initiatives.
