Annual Campaign
​Each year, we support a specific need at the hospital. Our 2021 campaign benefits Bladder Bootcamp.

Help Make Life Easier and More Joyful for Children Who Suffer
​ with This Difficult Condition

Making the Case for Bladder Bootcamp
  • Voiding Dysfunction occurs in 22% of neurologically healthy school children between the ages of 4 and 18.
  • Patients suffer symptoms of daytime incontinence, nighttime bedwetting, or urinary urgency.
  • Children with voiding dysfunction endure a decrease in their quality of life, self-esteem, and school performance.​

Why is funding needed for Bladder Bootcamp?
  • More than 1,300 patients are treated at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
  • Stanford for voiding dysfunction each year.
  • The average wait for a first Urology clinic appointment is 3 months.
  • The development of Bladder Bootcamp videos will allow patients to begin active treatment before their first clinic visit from the comfort of their own homes.
  • The materials for children and parents will be presented in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.

What will funding for Bladder Bootcamp support?
  • Stanford's Educational Technology Department, in partnership with the Urology
  • Department at Packard Children's, will develop a series of age-appropriate videos for children and families.
  • The videos will allow families to access helpful guidance, in advance of their appointment, from the comfort of their own homes.
  • Packard Children's is the first hospital to initiate a Bladder Bootcamp program.
  • Bladder Bootcamp materials will be shared with other children's hospitals benefitting thousands of patients and families across the nation.
Thank you!
