Medical Center Development (MCD), in partnership with the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, supports Stanford Medicine. MCD’s passionate and experienced fundraising professionals and partner teams work closely to create a donor-centric approach to development. We continue to envision creative ways to build upon the generous support of our donor community and align our strategic vision with that of Stanford University, which is in the early stages of a new and exciting institutional fundraising effort. Every member of the MCD team and the broader Office of Development staff plays an important role in inspiring donors and providing an exceptionally positive and fulfilling philanthropic experience.
