About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Since opening
more than 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has
changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other
life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care
their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more
have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has
played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates
from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer
Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to
children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood
disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by
the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die
in the dawn of life. Join that mission by visiting stjude.org or
