The amount of your donation that stays local.
I give because I believe in the missions of SwedishAmerican Health Foundation and our health system . . . every little bit helps. My donations arenโt going to build giant buildings, but they have the potential to make someoneโs stay at our hospital better.โ

Meet Dr. Harb, a committed Obstetrician and Gynecologist and dedicated supporter of SwedishAmerican Health Foundation. ๐
Dr. Harb has been an integral part of the UW Health SwedishAmerican family for over 18 years, with nearly 12 years as an employed physician. His dedication to health care and helping others has always been at the core of his medical journey.
"I've always had a strong desire to help others and make a significant, positive impact on people's lives," Dr. Harb shared. "It brings me immense satisfaction to see people get better, whether after surgery or treatment for a severe illness. My specialty also brings the added joy of helping couples grow their families."
In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Harb has long recognized the importance of giving back to his community. He began donating to SwedishAmerican Health Foundation several years ago, driven by the knowledge that health care needs in the Rockford area are great, he emphasized, "There is a great need for supporting health care in Rockford."
When asked about the impact of SwedishAmerican Health Foundationโs work, Dr. Harb noted, "The Foundation fills in the gaps in our health care system and supports the areas of greatest need in our community. It's an essential part of ensuring that everyone has access to quality care."
Dr. Harb encourages others to join in supporting the Foundationโs efforts as well: "The funds raised by the Foundation stay local, meaning they have a direct and tangible impact on our own community. Donating is a meaningful way to make a difference."
