Fundraising

Since 1997, the foundation has raised funds to ensure that Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the pediatric programs at 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 support over the last decade has helped transform Packard Children's into one of the nation's top children's hospitals, and has sustained its commitment to care for any child in the community, including those without health insurance.

Lucile Packard

Lucile Packard (1914-1987) and her husband, David (1912-1996), co-founder of Hewlett Packard Company, were dedicated to children and were the driving force behind the development of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. There are several distinct organizations that bear Lucile Packard's name. Among them are The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Because of their similar names, the organizations can be confused with each other, and they often work closely together to help improve the health of children.
