Where your support is most needed today in the Inland Northwest
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
With 47 beds, MultiCare Deaconess Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) treats babies born prematurely or with serious health problems. Donations to the NICU help elevate the level of care and expand access for the tiniest and most vulnerable members of our community.
Behavioral Health
One in five people live with mental illness or Substance Use Disorder. The COVID-19 pandemic has also created an urgent need for increased access to effective behavioral health care and treatment. Your donations help expand access to those who need it most.
MultiCare Pulse Heart Institute
Pulse Heart Institute is the Inland Northwest’s destination for adult heart health, offering a comprehensive range of the most advanced cardiac, thoracic and vascular services available. Funding helps provide advanced care and prevention outreach.
Helping Hands
This special fund is used by social workers in direct support of patients and families who face barriers to care and healing. Your support helps pay for items people need but cannot afford, such as meal vouchers, transportation, housing assistance, medications and medical equipment.
Finding a second family at Deaconess’ NICU
