  • Advanced Support: Enjoy 24/7 access to the Heart Center’s multidisciplinary team in Seattle, providing a seamless continuum of care from prenatal consultations to complex cardiac surgery.

Key Highlights

  • Independence: Lead clinical efforts in a community setting where you are the primary expert for local families.
  • Innovation: Utilize IAC-accredited facilities in both transthoracic and fetal echocardiography.
  • Impact: Work with local partners such as Providence Hospital, Alaska Regional Hospital, and the Alaska Native Medical Center to serve a diverse and widespread population.

About Seattle Children’s

This isn’t about beating the odds. This is about changing them.

We fight relentlessly to make sure there’s no such thing as “out of options” and to make sure kids who “didn't have a chance” can have the childhoods they deserve. At Seattle Children’s, we’re united by a compelling mission: We provide hope, care and cures to help every child live the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible.

Together, we deliver superior patient care, advance new discoveries and treatments through pediatric research and serve as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho – the largest region of any children’s hospital in the country.

In 2025, U.S. News & World Report again named Seattle Children’s among the top 10 best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and the best in the Pacific Northwest. U.S. News & World Report has recognized Seattle Children’s as a top children’s hospital every year since it began ranking medical centers more than 30 years ago. This means that your child will be cared for by the very best.

Hope. Care. Cure.

Generous Donors

Seattle Children’s was initially founded and run by a group of philanthropic women more than 100 years ago.
