Thank You to the Sharon D. Lund Foundation
Innovation requires two key ingredients: bold ideas and courage. CHOC is fortunate to have both renowned thought leaders in pediatric medicine and courageous donors with a vision to truly transform children’s health. The Sharon D. Lund Foundation is one such forward-thinking donor. In keeping with the generous spirit of Walt Disney’s daughter Sharon, the Foundation supports projects that not only impact children in Orange County but globally. It was with a $5 million donation from the Foundation that CHOC founded the Sharon Disney Lund Medical Intelligence, Information, Investigation, and Innovation Institute (Mi4), bringing together key people from within the hospital and beyond to foster creativity.
Your charitable donation to CHOC’s Sharon Disney Lund Mi4 Department helps our team support medical intelligence and innovation, advancing care for the children and families that we serve.
