The 2025 Gala will be held on Saturday October 25, 2025 at the Field Museum of Chicago.  The Gala has been a popular event, attended by 900 guests including physicians, community and business leaders, and supports over 100,000 patients who are served.

 This year, your support will ignite a powerful transformation in our community and help expand Swedish Hospital’s healthcare access.  Swedish has identified exciting new opportunities that will make additional physician and clinical expertise accessible to serve the healthcare needs of our community. We are also repurposing the Immanuel Evangelical Covenant Church property to build a Community Wellness Center which will strengthen the Hospital’s vital community outreach programs such as food insecurity, medication management, and the Pathways program that connects survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking to, counseling, housing, and treatment for drug addiction.
