The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, a wholly

health and well-being of children and expectant mothers by
fundraising on behalf of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital

Opened in 1991, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford is the
heart and soul of Stanford Children’s Health. Nationally ranked and
internationally recognized, the 361-bed hospital is devoted
entirely to pediatrics and obstetrics. Its centers provide
comprehensive services and deep expertise in key obstetric and
pediatric areas: brain and behavior, cancer, heart, pregnancy and
newborn, pulmonary, orthopedics and sports medicine, and
transplant. It also provides an additional, wide range of services
for babies, children, and pregnant mothers. The hospital's main
building, which opened in December 2017, is the country’s most
technologically advanced, family-friendly, and environmentally
sustainable hospital for children and pregnant mothers.
Stanford University School of Medicine is a premier
research-intensive medical school that improves health through
leadership, collaborative discoveries, and innovation. The School
of Medicine consistently ranks among the nation’s top 10 medical
schools, integrating research, medical education, patient care, and
community service. The School of Medicine’s partnership with Lucile
Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford Hospital & Clinics
facilitates the rapid translation of basic science into better
clinical care for patients of all ages.
In 2019, 15,427 donors gave $190 million to Lucile Packard

programs at Stanford University School of Medicine. The Foundation
is currently in the quiet phase of a campaign, which will allow for
the continued growth of Stanford Children’s Health as a leader in
pediatric and obstetric care and research. This is a time when
innovation in child and maternal health is flourishing, and the
Foundation team will drive the most transformative gifts to the
Hospital and School of Medicine.
