About St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital®
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats
childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It is the
only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer
Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude
have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20
percent to 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50
years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate
for childhood cancer to 90 percent, and we won't stop until no
child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it
makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and
scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more
children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for
treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family
should worry about is helping their child live. Join the St. Jude
mission by visiting stjude.org, liking St. Jude on Facebook
(facebook.com/stjude) and following us on Twitter (@stjude).
