Dolly Parton has donated $1 million to pediatric infectious disease research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Vanderbilt said Wednesday.
"I love all children. No child should ever have to suffer, and I'm willing to do my part to try and keep as many of them as I can as healthy and safe as possible," Parton was quoted in a press release from Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC).
According to the press release, Vanderbilt's division of pediatric infectious diseases conducts research into how viruses and bacteria cause disease, resistance to antibiotics, preventing and treating infections in children with cancer and "research to define the impact of childhood infections throughout the world."
