Welcome to Hadassah Pacific Northwest (PNW), which stretches across an expanse, including Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. We believe in building a world full of hope, promise and pride. We believe in the advancement and empowerment of women and their health and well-being. Hadassah is among the strongest advocates for Israel in the United States, and we take that role seriously. Please join us in our beautiful region for a fun and meaningful experience, as our local women continue to build the Hadassah legacy. We welcome all women to learn more about us and join this exceptional organization!
Our region proudly includes Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Together, we inspire passion and amplify women’s voices to be policy changemakers on critical issues, including women’s and children’s health, strengthening the US-Israel relationship and combating antisemitism.

Celebrate our new Pacific Northwest Region and Seattle Chapter leaders at a delicious kosher brunch. We’ll install our new boards and hear from a very interesting speaker on cutting-edge research about women leaders in the workplace.
Winter in the Pacific Northwest can feel long, so let’s cheat a little and bring spring indoors. Join Hadassah Portland for a fun, feel-good gathering where we’ll paint plant pots for indoor herbs and add a pop of color to the season.
An inspiring conversation with prenatal and birth midwife Cindie Brown, CNM, ARNP, who supports Jewish expecting moms across Seattle. We will also take a glimpse into Hadassah's renewed birth center for Israeli moms and babies in Jerusalem.
