Community Benefits

Community benefit programs are designed to address specific community health needs.  These programs serve people who face barriers to accessing health care and seek to improve public health.  As a mission-driven organization, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital remains committed to advocacy, outreach, education, and research to improve the health status of children and pregnant women.  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 2011 community benefits investment for services and activities to improve the health status of infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant women exceeded $128 million.  

Community Service Priorities

In addition to providing funds for undercompensated medical expenses of government-insured patients and charity care, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital invests in community service priorities designed, first and foremost, to protect and improve health and expand access to health services. We advocate solutions for the health-related issues of children and expectant mothers, and provide preventive health care with special emphasis on improving social and emotional health and preventing pediatric obesity. We focus on at-risk children, youth and expectant women, serving vulnerable populations as well as the larger community.
