About usCommunity Relations

The UW Health Community Relations Program facilitates and enhances UW Health’s connections to the community it serves. This includes directing charitable giving, reporting community benefit and serving as liaison between the health system and community members and partners.

UW Health funds many community partners whose work aligns with our strategic plan and other board-approved priorities. Community Relations partners with Social Impact and Belonging, Population Health and many other departments. To inquire about a donation please contact communityrelations@uwhealth.org.

UW Health provides more than $325 million in total community benefits annually. This financial assistance to patients, workforce development programs, community health education, support groups and medication assistance.

Community Relations provides support to our annual employee campaigns, including for Friends of UW Health. Additionally, each year, our employees give back through several drives benefitting local partners.
