These quilts were created by more than 200 survivors of domestic violence, their friends and family and concerned members of the South King County communities. The aim of creating the quilts was to raise awareness of domestic violence and show support for victims and survivors of domestic violence. Surviving an abusive relationship is a long and difficult process, or a journey. The creators of the quilts hope that this exhibit will reach out to victims and show them that they are not alone and that there is help available. We also hope that those who view the quilts will stop and think about the enormous impact domestic violence has on all of our lives.
Domestic violence is the most common cause of injury to women in our society.
In King County, there are an average of 12,300 domestic violence offenses reported each year. We hope that viewing this quilt will be a moving experience for you and that it will prompt those who view it to do our piece to make home a safe place for everyone . Since 1974, it has been our vision and commitment to provide our patients with quality medical care in a comfortable environment. Every woman knows the value and importance of regular gynecological care, so your choice of physicians is an important one. It is our goal for each and every one of our patients to feel confident and assured with every aspect of the health care we provide.
