A helpful environment

A family space to educate, work, and relax

Family Resource Center

The Family Resource Center provides support and access to resources for families. It is a special place where families can find relaxation, conduct personal business in the business center and perhaps even forget for a little while that they are in a hospital.

While your child is a patient at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, you can access the following services at the Family Resource Center:

  • Catch up on work in a semi private office.
  • Access the internet and computers.
  • Print, Fax, or Scan Materials.
  • Check out books from the Library for patients and siblings.
  • Relax, Read, and/or enjoy a hot complimentary beverage.
  • Obtain personal hygiene items such as toothbrushes and shampoo.

A Family Resource Center Coordinator is available to provide guidance and amenities. The Family Resource Center is located in the Main building lobby near Sophie’s Corner.
