Supporting Pediatric Care, Research, and Training
Olivia Vargas, treated at Packard for a malignant brain tumor when she was 3, is now a vibrant cancer-free grade school student.
Development
Since 1997, the Foundation has raised funds to ensure that Packard Children's Hospital and the Stanford University School of Medicine's pediatric programs 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.
Through the Campaign for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, enormous strides
were made in 2003 and 2004 to launch the Hospital and the School's programs
into the nation's top ranks, and to ensure the Hospital's future financial
stability.

Pediatric Medical Affairs
In addition to its work as the fundraiser for Packard Hospital and Stanford's pediatric programs, the Foundation is responsible for granting and overseeing $300 million of the $500 million raised through the Campaign, in concert with The David and Lucile Packard Foundation. During 2003 and 2004, the Foundation transferred $62.3 million in grants for the Children's Health Initiative, the plan developed by the Hospital and School to advance children's health.
