Groups Pull Together for Kids’ Healthcare

Re “Largess for the Littlest,” editorial, June 22: It is important to note that an unprecedented collaborative of philanthropies and organizations provided financial support to make the Children’s Health Initiative of Greater Los Angeles a reality.

In addition to major funders -- the California Endowment, L.A. Care Health Plan and First 5 LA -- the following are also funding partners: Blue Shield of California Foundation, California Community Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, QueensCare, Unihealth Foundation and the Weingart Foundation. Los Angeles joins counties across the state working to ensure that all of California’s kids have access to healthcare.
