Health and Wellness

Mission Forward is about our future. UW Medicine has long played a special role in our community and region. We care for the most vulnerable patients, and take the most complex cases, often at great financial cost. We do so because that is our mission and our privilege to serve.

So, while many of the updates shared here will highlight how we’ve become more efficient or addressed operational challenges in various aspects of our business, let’s not forget what Mission Forward is really about. That is, finding a sustainable path forward for UW Medicine so that we can continue to advance our mission and caring for our community for years to come.

Nothing could be more important to our future. Thank you for your support in this effort and for always putting our patients first.
