Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health

The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health is the primary fundraiser for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and works to improve the system of care for children with special health care needs. It also disseminates information to raise awareness and promote action regarding key children's health issues. Since 1997, the foundation has raised funds to ensure the hospital and pediatric programs at Stanford University School of Medicine can provide the finest care to children, train future pediatric medical leaders, and conduct research into treatments and cures for childhood diseases. The foundation's grantmaking program aims to promote an improved system of care for children with special health care needs and their families. Additionally, the foundation's Kidsdata website provides information about the health and well-being of children in California. The foundation works in alignment with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and the child health programs of Stanford University, with a mission to elevate the priority of children's health and increase the quality and accessibility of children's health care through leadership and direct investment.
