TOGETHER WE PERFORMED ONE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST PEDIATRIC HEART TRANSPLANTS.

In 1984, we gave 2-year-old Lizzy Craze a new heart. Twenty-five years later, she’s one of the longest surviving transplant patients - and she’s thriving. Today, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital has one of the nation’s largest pediatric heart transplant programs. Together, we continue to pioneer new treatments that reduce the need for heart biopsies, explore drug therapies that eliminate the need for transplants for many patients, and sustain patients who await transplants. Visit lpch.org to see how we work together.
