The mission of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health is
to elevate the priority of children's health and increase the quality
and accessibility of children's health care through leadership and direct
investment. We work in alignment with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital
and the child health programs of Stanford University. Our vision is that
all children in the communities we serve are able to reach their maximum
health potential. Recognizing that no single strategy can address the
diverse health needs of children, the Foundation pursues its mission through
three distinct yet complementary programs:
- Fundraising
for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the pediatric programs at
the Stanford University School of Medicine.
- Grantmaking
to promote the health and well being of children through partnerships
with community organizations in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
- Public Information
and Education to raise awareness about the state of children's
health.
The Foundation, an independent public charity, is named for Lucile Salter
Packard (1914-1987), in honor of her lifelong commitment to the well being
of children.
Mrs. Packard and her husband, David (1912-1996), cofounder of Hewlett
Packard Company, were the driving forces behind the development of Lucile
Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, from which the independent Foundation
evolved.
The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health was established in
1996, after the consolidation of the previously independent Packard Children's
Hospital with the adult hospital and clinics of the Stanford University
Medical Center.
