2018 Golden Teddy Awards — Family Resources

Winner: Swedish Medical Centers

Swedish Pediatrics takes a top Golden Teddy spot for the second year in a row. This local favorite has been in the business of caring since 1910, with a mission of improving the health and well-being of each person it serves. Yes, that means flexible hours, easy access to medical records and more than 20 locations. As for doctors, we had so many write-in nominations, it was hard to pick, but Dr. Benjamin Starnes was a particular crowd favorite.
