The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health is devoted exclusively
to promoting, protecting, and sustaining the health of children, with
a focus on San Mateo and Santa Clara counties in Northern California.
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.
