“Expanding and improving children’s hospitals are an important health care priority. Without continued investments in medical equipment and facilities, California’s health care system will not be prepared to meet the needs of our expanding population. The children served by these hospitals are in need of specialized services and the hospitals that treat them do so without regard to a family’s ability to pay. This measure will expand capacity and bring hope to critically ill children and their families.” (California Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Allan Zaremberg)
