What geographical area does Packard Children's Hospital serve?
Children and families from throughout Northern California come to Packard Children's Hospital. In many cases, Packard is the only medical center in the region to provide highly specialized care such as the treatment of cancer and heart defects, organ transplantation, neurosurgery, and neonatal intensive care.
The Children's Hospital, in conjunction with Stanford Hospital & Clinics, also offers one of only two pediatric emergency departments in the Bay Area, combining Packard’s trademark kid-friendly atmosphere with a team of pediatric emergency medicine specialists equipped to handle any medical problem.
Doesn't Packard Children's Hospital have a lot of money from the Packard Family? Why does it need my gift?
The Packard Family made a generous gift to fund the construction of a new children's hospital building which opened as Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital in 1991. Funds to support ongoing operations of Packard Children's Hospital and new research and programs were not a part of this original gift. Like most other children's hospitals, Packard Children's Hospital relies on gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations to provide high levels of care and groundbreaking research. In fact, private contributions are becoming more and more critical, particularly in today's climate of decreased insurance reimbursement and government support. Packard Children's Hospital's total endowment remains small compared to many other top children's hospitals that have had decades to build community support.
From whom does Packard Children's Hospital receive its support?
In Fiscal Year 2007, private support for Packard Children's Hospital and Stanford pediatric programs came from the following sources:
90% Individuals;
8% Corporate and Foundation
Giving;
2% from Events and Auxiliary activities.
Note: These figures do not include Campaign matching funds from The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
What different areas can I support at Packard Children's Hospital and the pediatric departments at Stanford?
The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health encourages donors to give through the Children's Fund, which supports the most critical, annual needs of Packard Children's Hospital and the pediatric programs, including care for all, pediatric research, and family and community services. However, a gift can be designated to any area of interest to the donor.
