Washington Poison Center Turns 70!

This year, help us celebrate seven decades of trusted care and steady support for our communities.

Celebrate with us!

Washington Poison Center is your statewide nonprofit resource for poison prevention and drug safety. For seven decades, we’ve helped families, individuals, and healthcare providers navigate moments of concern and crisis—saving lives and reducing healthcare costs.

As we mark this milestone anniversary, we invite you to join us in celebrating 70 years of impact and looking ahead to a healthier, safer future for Washington.

Throughout the year, we will commemorate this occasion through a Seattle celebration on May 7, a Spokane event in the fall, media, and storytelling, so stay tuned for more. Sign up for email to keep in the loop!
