Did you know that healthcare is now the top employer in 38 of 50 states, including Washington? This wasn't true just 35 years ago, and implications for both healthcare and the economy are significant.

Meet David, the first-ever @UW_Football Husky Hero. He first ran the field at 11 years old while in treatment in 2023. Now 14, David is 21 months off therapy.
Three years after his first visit, on the eve of our Big Ten matchup against Iowa, David came home to a brand-new team in a whole new chapter of his life.
I will be there with Bob Barker, please join us! 🎮 🐶

I am pleased to welcome Carla Costa Perales, Donna Smith, MD, MBA, and Peter Lee, PhD, as new trustees on the Seattle Children’s board and look forward to working alongside them as we continue our plans to increase access, improve outcomes and advance breakthrough research for the kids and families counting on us.

Having just completed his second month of chemotherapy, 11-year-old Juan meets every day with the grit and grace that make him a Husky Hero in every sense of the word.
Juan usually undergoes treatment from his home in Monroe, Washington, with trips to Seattle for care at @seattlechildren as he fights high-risk ALL leukemia. This time, he made the trip just to keep up with his Dawgs.
Juan spent time at Husky Stadium surrounded by friends and family repping his custom design for Project Superstar, the community fundraiser supporting Seattle Children’s through Race Porter’s Heart on My Sleeve (HOMS).
Juan and his crew even got a game of soccer going with the same Dawgs who will face Minnesota tomorrow in their first Big Ten game of the season.
Husky Hero Juan will be watching from their corner when they do. We hope he knows they’ll always be in his corner, too.
Keep shining, Juan. We’re so proud you’re one of us. 🐾

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

GO Karts aren’t just for kids 🎮😊
We visited @seattlechildren’s Alyssa Burnett Adult Life Center for the first time and got a closer look at how gaming and adaptive tech fit into classes and recreation there.

Is it over for human doctors?
No. Airliners can largely take off, fly, and land themselves. We still put two pilots up front, for judgment, edge cases, and trust. Same in the exam room.

Three of my favorite thinkers (and most lucid communicators) on healthcare and AI chat about many of the key issues: @peteratmsr, @CALonghurst, and @chrissyfarr. Worth a listen.

Thank you @chrissyfarr and @peteratmsr for the incredible conversation on healthcare AI and innovation, two topics I am very invested in as we work to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients and families at @seattlechildren
Most people predicting AI will reshape the clinical workforce don't have to live with the consequences.
@CALonghurst does. He's a general pediatrician, the new CEO of Seattle Children's, and he thinks it's time to revisit training pathways.
