St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, and food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade. We won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.
Because St. Jude freely shares the discoveries we make, we're saving children all over the world. Every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world, and gives specialized training to international healthcare professionals so they can use that knowledge in their own countries.
