Carl and Ihla Petersen Patient Care Fund
When Carl Petersen passed away in 2002, he left behind his legacy and that of his wife Ihla through a $4 million gift to charity. OMC Regional Foundation receives one-third of the proceeds from a trust designed to help financially disadvantaged residents of Olmsted County. Carl made this gift in appreciation for care provided to Ihla at OMC before she passed away. With the trust proceeds, OMC Regional Foundation established the Carl and Ihla Petersen Patient Care Fund to enhance OMC’s ability to provide financial assistance to people with fixed incomes, multiple jobs, and/or insufficient insurance coverage to obtain healthcare. In addition to the distributions from the Petersen Trust Fund, OMC employees have generously contributed to this fund as they see first-hand the benefit to patients in need.
