“Bringing health care to our most vulnerable young patients where they live is just one of the ways that Banner is working to make childhood well and wonderful, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of generous donors to the Banner Health Foundation,” said Andy Petersen, foundation president and chief executive officer. “Philanthropic support drives important community health initiatives, like the Banner Children’s Community Clinics, and many other Banner services and programs that advance health and well-being and make life better for everyone.”
