CHLA senior vice president and chief development officer Alexandra Carter said:  “Through their transformative philanthropy and leadership, the Petersens dedicated their lives to helping children overcome obstacles of all kinds. They would be proud to know that this gift will help save children from debilitating illnesses by helping one of the nation’s top children’s hospitals provide families and patients the multidisciplinary, family-centered care they need.”.
