We Stand For Care

The David and Lucile Packard Foundation has announced that it intends to COMMIT up to $100 million for the expansion of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Their generous donation is MAKING A DIFFERENCE to children’s health by adding 104 new beds to its Palo Alto campus and expands access to state-of-the-art treatments.

“As a foundation born out of Silicon Valley, we are COMMITTED to making the Bay Area a healthy place for kids to grow up, as well as an innovator in pediatric medicine. That vision is at the heart of the Hospital’s expansion, and we are proud to help make it possible,” said Carol Larson, president of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

The new expansion will allow Packard to continue to provide COMPASSIONATE CARE and sustain its mission – to provide the community’s children access to the most advanced cures, treatments, and technologies, performed by the best minds in pediatric medicine, within a family-centered environment. “My mother would be incredibly proud of the growth we’ve seen at the Children’s Hospital,” says Susan Packard Orr, chair of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

Christopher Dawes, president and CEO of Packard Children’s, stated, “With our new facility on the horizon, we look forward to providing even more children and families with access to the best in clinical care, education and research. This would not be possible without the ongoing support of our philanthropic community.”
