SUMMARY:Build community stability with previously homeless Seattleites
DESCRIPTION:Game time!! The residents of the Pat Williams Apartments are all previously homeless single adults who are working towards building community with their neighbors in a sober living environment – and we’ll be joining them for games\, activities and snacks to help achieve that goal. \nThis property\, owned by Plymouth Housing Group\, is the organization’s first ever sober-intended building\, so we’ll be working to support the residents in their sobriety and towards meeting their own personal goals. Residents in this building may face other struggles as well – mental illness or a history of trauma – but by providing housing and a community environment\, Plymouth is able to help the residents rebuild their lives. \nThis is a great opportunity to interact with formerly homeless individuals that are now working towards stability and hear their stories. Space is limited\, so email Cassandra to reserve a spot today!

SUMMARY:An Evening with Dr. Ben Danielson
DESCRIPTION:Join a select group of Emerging Leaders for an evening of conversation with one of Seattle’s leaders in medicine: Dr. Ben Danielson. We’ll provide light appetizers\, drinks\, and a chance to network with your peers and Dr. Danielson – all you need to bring is you! \nDr. Danielson will speak about how he combines his interests in human service and science as the director of the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic and why he’s passionate about the work United Way of King County does. Then we’ll open it up for Q&A\, so come ready with your questions. \nEmail Cassandra to reserve your spot. Space is limited to the first 50 people! \nAlong with two sisters\, Dr. Ben Danielson was raised by an amazing single mom who instilled in him an appreciation for the value of education and a desire to be a contributing member of the community. In college\, he decided that becoming a doctor was a good way to meld his scientific and human service interests. After finishing his undergraduate studies in Boston\, Dr. Danielson’s medical education\, residency\, and career have all been spent in Seattle. \nDr. Danielson has been the medical director of the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic since 1999. He works alongside dedicated\, talented staff who strive to uphold the clinic’s enduring tradition of growing wellness through quality care while engaging the community\, honoring culture\, and sustaining trust. He also works on the inpatient service at Seattle Children’s Hospital. \nDr. Danielson believes that the opportunity to serve an individual or a community is a cherished privilege. He also ascribes to the truism that health is more than healthcare and that any healthcare provider who strives to improve health must be active beyond the realm of their medical practice. Dr. Danielson works with several community groups and serves on the King County Board of Health\, the state’s health exchange board\, the United Way of King County board\, and the boards of other philanthropic organizations.
