CEO MESSAGE

Welcome and thank you for visiting SwedishAmerican's Web site. I encourage you to explore our site to learn about the many valuable resources and services we provide, and to explore employment opportunities with us.

Our health system is dedicated to putting patient's needs first and delivering safe, high quality care to those we serve. This is evident in the design of our new heart hospital, which allows us to convert many of the double-occupancy rooms in our existing 10-story patient tower to private rooms. In addition, this unprecedented facility includes a healing garden—which provides a soothing environment with greenery and water; large private rooms for patients and their loved ones; and elements such as music, massage, and aromatherapy that promote relaxation and well-being.

SwedishAmerican's mission is: "Through excellence in healthcare and compassionate service, we care for our community." Our employees, who live out our mission every day, are a reflection of our accomplishments. As a result of our commitment to quality and service, our health system has earned many regional and national awards for quality and clinical excellence. We've also received national awards for being a great place to work.

From SwedishAmerican's modest beginnings in 1911 to our campus expansion and renovation project in 2002 to the completion of our new state-of-the-art heart hospital, we proudly continue a tradition of excellence in patient care, education and community service, and welcome the opportunity to serve you.

Sincerely,

Bill Gorski, M.D.
President and CEO
