Community Benefit

Community Health Needs Assessment

Overlake Medical Center produces a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years that outlines how the hospital gives back to the community in the form of healthcare and other community services to address unmet community needs. Read our assessments at the links below:

We value your input on the Community Health Needs Assessment and Implementation Strategy. Please send comments or questions to stephanie.hamrick@overlakehospital.org.

Community Sponsorships

Sponsorship proposals are based on several criteria that have been developed to ensure we establish sponsorship relationships that benefit our community. We use the following Sponsorship Requests Criteria to evaluate requests for participation in all corporate programs.

We frequently participate in corporate sponsorships or community events. While we would like to take advantage of every opportunity to lend support to those around us, we receive a large number of requests for sponsorship and must carefully allocate our limited resources to best meet the needs of the organization.

Types of Sponorships We Support 

Sponsorship proposals are based on several criteria that have been developed to ensure we establish sponsorship relationships that benefit our community.

We use the following criteria to evaluate requests for participation in all corporate programs. Proposals are evaluated for:

  • Organizations must fall within our Eastside service area (cities include: Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Newcastle, North Bend, Redmond, Sammamish and Snoqualmie.)
  • Align with the purpose of healthcare and wellness.
  • Build upon the positive Overlake Medical Center brand.
  • Leverage Overlake Medical Center expertise and resources.

*Requests for civic organization involvement, walks, runs and races must have an identified Overlake Medical Center and Clinics employee connection.

Overlake Medical Center will not provide funding for:

  • Events outside the Overlake Medical Center and Clinics service area.
  • Donations or support to general appeal campaigns, endowments or memorials.
  • Requests that benefit an individual or family.
  • Local sporting teams and events or travel expenses.

Application Process & Timing

Overlake's fiscal year is July through, June and we plan our community investment 12 months in advance. New entries for fiscal year 2023 (beginning July 1, 2022) sponsorships are open until March 1, 2022.

Online sponsorship request forms need to be submitted no less than 120 days prior to the scheduled event date to be considered. All sponsorship requests need to be submitted via the online Corporate Sponsorship Application Form to be considered.

Due to the volume of requests, applications received by phone, fax, mail, e-mail or hand delivered will not be accepted or responded to.

Please note: Submitting a request form does not guarantee your event will be sponsored. We review our requests in a multi-step process. You will be updated on the consideration within 4-6 weeks of the submission date.
