Mission & Vision

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 premier pediatric and adolescent health center in Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho.
