Lucile Packard

Lucile Packard (1914-1987) and her husband, David (1912-1996), co-founder of Hewlett Packard Company, were dedicated to children and were the driving force behind the development of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. There are several distinct organizations that bear Lucile Packard's name. Among them are The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Because of their similar names, the organizations can be confused with each other, and they often work closely together to help improve the health of children.
