Northwest Hope & Healing, a local non-profit organization, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Our mission is to provide immediate, financial assistance to women undergoing treatment for breast and gynecological cancers—helping cover basic needs such as groceries, electricity, and rent during one of the most challenging times in their lives.
Annually we host a summer fashion show—a joyful and moving event where women living with cancer walk the runway. It’s both a celebration of strength and an important fundraiser that helps us continue this work.
There is a strong Mercer Island connection to Northwest Hope & Healing. I have proudly served on the board for the past eight years, and over that time, many models, volunteers, and fellow board members from our community have been deeply involved. In addition to my board role, I’m a plastic surgeon specializing in aesthetic surgery and breast reconstruction. My work gives me a deeply personal perspective on the courage of women facing cancer and the ripple effects on their families and loved ones. I am honored to share that perspective alongside the powerful stories from our organization—highlighting the impact this work has had both locally and beyond.
Given the milestone anniversary, the strong local ties, and the October timing, I am pleased to share the organization and opportunity to celebrates our community and the lives changed through Northwest Hope & Healing.
