St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute.

CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

St. Jude is the nation's first proton therapy center dedicated solely to children.

St. Jude publishes more research and clinical trials than any other pediatric cancer research institution in the US and turns laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments that benefit patients.

RESEARCH INSTITUTION

St. Jude was the first children’s hospital to make a major investment in pediatric cancer genome sequencing.

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live.

CHARITY

Because a majority of St. Jude funding comes from generous donors, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of their financial situation.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is a national resource with a global mission. Join us in our lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®
