A BIG THANK YOU to all our Care Squad Members who enabled NW Medical Arts to donate to “Rebuilding Hope” during “Sexual Assault Awareness Month.” in March. We support and appreciate the work this organization is doing in our community. “Rebuilding Hope Sexual Assault Center offers support toward healing through advocacy and therapy for those affected by sexual assault and abuse.”
Our team at NWMA is so excited to participate in the Paint Tacoma Beautiful Project 8/18. This is an incredible initiative that has helped over 2,200 elderly, low income, and disabled homeowners refresh the exteriors of their homes with new paint and much needed maintenance. It’s easy to look at the beauty industry as only going skin deep but here at NWMA we want to change that misconception and show that true beauty comes from the inside out and can mean many different things.

Associated Ministries is uniting communities of different faiths to work together toward lasting solutions to homelessness in Pierce County. Since opening Northwest Medical Arts we have become so much more connected to our community. We have increased our awareness to the struggles and challenges that exist and the amazing people dedicating their lives and careers to making it better. We knew from the start that our vision of helping patients look and feel their best self can compliment the vision of these amazing non-profits we have gotten to work with. We are so excited and inspired to have membership programs that can help make a difference to not only our patients but our entire community. Through our partner organizations we have been given ways we can take meaningful steps and make a real difference. We look forward to working with this organization more under their “Paint Tacoma Beautiful” program as we volunteer free exterior house painting to low-income home owners during summer months. If you would like to learn more on ways you can give back to any of the organizations we have worked with please Contact Us
