What We Do
The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health raises funds for Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (an integral part of Stanford Medicine Children’s Health) and for child and maternal health programs at the Stanford School of Medicine. We also shape and support programs that make health care more accessible for children with complex health needs through grantmaking and advocacy.
