LUCILE PACKARD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL STANFORD

The vision of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health is that all children in the communities we serve are able to reach their maximum health potential... The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health works in alignment with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and the child health programs of Stanford University... The Foundation is named for Lucile Salter Packard (1914-1987), in honor of her lifelong commitment to the well being of children. Mrs. Packard and her husband, David (1912-1996), cofounder of Hewlett-Packard, were the driving forces behind the development of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, from which the foundation evolved. The Hospital, which opened in 1991, merged with Stanford University Medical Center in 1996, and the Foundation was established as an independent public charity to ensure a continued source of dedicated funding and support for the health and well being of children.
