History

Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford was founded in 1991 after a $40 million donation in 1986 from David and Lucile Packard, and since then LPCH has become one of the nation's most prominent children's hospitals. [12] In 1996 LPCH merged with the Stanford University Medical Center, and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health 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.[ citation needed ]

Lucile Packard Children's Hospital also hosts one of the centers for the study and treatment of Marfan syndrome in the USA. The hospital hosts the most extensive program for Marfan-related thoracic aneurysm in California and one of the largest in the country.[ citation needed ]

Modernization and expansion

On December 9, 2017, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford opened a new 521,000 square-foot building Main building and 3.5 acres of surrounding gardens and green space. The new building more than doubled the size of the existing pediatric and obstetric hospital campus, adding 149 patient beds for a total of 361 on the Palo Alto campus. [13] Within the original building, now called the West building, design plans are underway for renovating the existing Johnson Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Services to create a dedicated mother and baby center. [14]

Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford's Main building is LEED Platinum certified by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It was the second children's hospital in the world to earn LEED Platinum status, the highest designation for sustainability awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council. [15]

In November, 2019 neighboring Stanford Hospital expanded and moved their adult emergency department and trauma center to a new building. The move enabled LPCH to expand their pediatric emergency department. [16] [17]

[21]

Ronald McDonald House

Right down the road from LPCH is the Ronald McDonald House of the Bay Area (RMDH). The RMDH at Stanford dates back to 1979 when the original house opened. In 2016 an expansion doubling the size was completed. [22] The capacity went from 67 families a night to 123 families per night, added 50,000 square-feet, and cost $40.5 million. [23] The house is the largest RMDH in the world and was designed by top interior designers from around the Bay Area. [24] [25] The house serves patients and families of infants, children, teens, and young adults age 0-21.[ citation needed ]
