Advancing Pediatric Care, Research & Training
Development
Since 1997, the Foundation has raised funds to ensure that Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and the pediatric programs at Stanford University School of Medicine are able to provide the finest, family-centered care to children; train the next generation of pediatric medical leaders; and conduct research into treatments and cures for diseases that affect children throughout the world. Growth in community support over the last decade has helped transform Packard Children’s into one of the nation’s top children’s hospitals, and has sustained its commitment to care for any child in the community, including those without health insurance.
