St. Jude Children`s Research Hospital
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
We share our scientific discoveries with the world.
Our name comes from Saint Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes and a personal favorite of founder Danny Thomas.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a beacon of hope in the world of pediatric medicine. Founded in 1962, this remarkable institution has dedicated itself to the mission of advancing cures and means of prevention for catastrophic pediatric diseases through research and treatment. With a focus on children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, St. Jude has transformed the way the world understands, treats, and defeats these conditions. The hospital's pioneering research and patient care have significantly improved survival rates, and its commitment to never deny treatment based on a family's ability to pay embodies a profound spirit of compassion and generosity.
