Supporting the Safety Net

Without community philanthropic support, Packard Children's Hospital could not provide the level of uncompensated care or the scope of services to help uninsured and underserved families gain access to quality medical care.

Each year, half of the proceeds raised through the Lucile Packard Children's Fund directly support care for families without private health insurance. The Children's Fund also helps fund many community programs, and has been a primary supporter of the Packard Teen Van. Another important source of funding comes from Packard's seven volunteer Auxiliaries whose many activities raise funds for uncompensated care and other special projects.
