Advancing Pediatric Care, Research & Training
Development
Since 1997, the Foundation has raised funds to ensure that Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and pediatric programs at the 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 donations over the last decade has helped transform Packard Children's into one of the nation's top children's hospitals, and has supported its commitment to care for any child in the community, including those without health insurance.

During 2006, the Foundation awarded and oversaw grants totaling $38.9 million to advance children's health.
