St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they
can focus on helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened in 1962, according to the hospital.
St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent. Because the majority of funding comes from individual contributions, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most – saving kids regardless of their financial situation, according to the hospital.
