Northwest Hope and Healing’s signature “Healing Boxes” are delivered, at no charge, to patients who are newly diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancer at all Swedish Cancer Institute campuses.

Our Healing Boxes are designed to offer a warm gesture of comfort and support to local patients undergoing cancer treatment.  They send a message: you are not alone, your community cares—all while offering practical, beautiful items that can be used during treatment. Each Gift Box contains a selection of the following items:*

• A pashmina style scarf to use as a warm wrap, head covering, or scarf
• Soft, fuzzy slipper socks
• Paraben free, unscented hand lotion
• Paraben free, unscented lip balm
• A beautiful journal
• Herbal or green tea
• Hand made note cards

*On average, each Healing Box contains five of these items.

Healing Boxes Take a Village

It all starts with donors—companies and individuals who can provide items in bulk such as fuzzy socks, scarves, lotions, tea, or other thoughtful gifts that help patients feel loved and cared for during a difficult time.

The next step is a “healing box assembly party,” where your company, organization, or a group of friends gets together to pack the donated items into our boxes.

Last but not least, Gift Boxes are placed in the hands of patients undergoing treatment at Swedish Cancer Center by their social worker, who also has the authority to offer them a financial assistance grant from our organization if needed.
