Vision
Our vision is that all children in the communities we serve are able to reach their maximum health potential.The Foundation works in alignment with Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and the child health programs of Stanford University. Our mission 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.
Recognizing that no single strategy can address the diverse health needs of children, the Foundation pursues its mission through three complementary programs:
- Fundraising for Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and the child health programs at Stanford University.
- Grantmaking to promote the health and well being of children through partnerships with community organizations.
- Public Information and Education to raise awareness about the state of children’s health.
The Foundation is a public charity, established in 1996 and named for Lucile Salter Packard (1914-1987) to honor her lifelong commitment to the well being of children.
