VALUES St Jude provides customized care for some of the world’s sickest children regardless of their race, ethnicity, beliefs, or ability to pay WHAT WE DO Families never receive a bill from St Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - so they can focus on helping their child live Since the hospital opened in 1962, St Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer DID YOU KNOW? In the United States, 4 out of 5 children sur vive cancer In many developing countries, however, only 1 out of 5 children diagnosed with cancer will survive St Jude won’t stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live
