Mary Bridge Children's Foundation 26

Best and safest care for kids

MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital is one of the nation’s leading pediatric hospitals, seeing over 300,000 visits each year. More than half of families served are low-income, and 62 percent of patients rely on Medicaid coverage and programs.

Thanks to generous donors, Mary Bridge Children’s Foundation champions infants, children and young adults across the Pacific Northwest by supporting uncompensated care and clinical and community programs not fully covered by insurance.
