Outreach and Community Service
Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford extends its resources beyond the hospital walls by developing partnerships with other local organizations to improve the health of all children, adolescents and expectant mothers. These programs focus primarily on people who face barriers to accessing health care services or live in environments that do not promote health behaviors. Providing community benefits demonstrates that we are fulfilling our mission of community service and meeting our charitable tax-exempt status.
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital is pleased to announce that our 2012 community benefits investment for services and activities to improve the health status of infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant women exceeds $217 million.
Community Service Priorities
- Increasing access to health care, with focus on insuring a medical homes for all children, adolescents and pregnant women.
Our support of government insurance programs, which provide access to care for limited income families, is by far our largest investment in this focus area. - Decreasing pediatric obesity. We work closely with many community collaboative efforts to improve access to nutritious food and physical activity opportunities.
- Improving the social and emotional health of youth.
