St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ® is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. For children around the world with pediatric cancer and other catastrophic illnesses, St. Jude is a true beacon of hope. In fact, St. Jude has helped to raise the overall childhood cancer survival rate in the United States from 20% to 80% since its establishment in 1962.

Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude is the world's first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center for Children. With research and patient care operating on a shared campus, St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted scientists and researchers are able to collaborate to translate discoveries into treatment and cures. In fact, multiple St. Jude researchers rank among the most highly cited scientists between 2009 and 2022.

St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes to help doctors and researchers at local hospitals and cancer centers around the world improve the quality of treatment and care for even more children. These findings are available through programs such as Cure4Kids, St. Jude Cloud and the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines.

St. Jude’s global partnerships include collaboration with the World Health Organization as well as the Pan American Health Organization. St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live. Consistent with the vision of founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live. Because of generous donor support, St. Jude can provide children cutting-edge treatments, at no cost to patient families.

St. Jude became a UICC full member in 2006. Learn more about St. Jude and its lifesaving mission by visiting www.stjude.org.
