La ventaja de Stanford

Research, medicine, and innovation since 1885

Established in 1885, Stanford University is one of the world’s leading research universities and premier academic brands, particularly noted for top-ranked programs that include physical and biological sciences. Patients of all ages who receive care from our hospital and community practices benefit greatly from our school of medicine affiliation which fosters multidisciplinary research, family-centered care and groundbreaking innovation.

Stanford Medicine is the West Coast’s oldest medical school and worldwide leader in patient care, education, research, and innovation. Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford is proud to be the pediatric and obstetric teaching hospital of Stanford Medicine—one of the top-ranked academic medical institutions in the country.

Medical breakthroughs and transformative care

Throughout history, Stanford Medicine has been home to cutting-edge medical advances, including the first successful adult human heart transplant in the country and the first combined heart-lung transplant in the world.

As part of Stanford University and Stanford Medicine located on the Stanford campus, we have access to some of the best minds not only in medicine but in all aspects of science and innovation. As we continue to integrate and expand our services, we’re able to bring world-class care and extraordinary outcomes to even more children and expectant mothers.
