The mission of St. Jude is to improve the survival rates of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases worldwide through the sharing of knowledge, technology and organizational skills, especially in low- and middle-income countries where 4 of 5 children who develop cancer die of their disease. Since St. Jude opened, the survival rate for the most common form of childhood cancer—acute lymphoblastic leukemia—has increased from 4% to over 94%
The hospital is at the forefront of pediatric cancer research, continuously pioneering new treatments and therapies to give children the best possible chance at survival. St. Jude shares its discoveries freely with doctors and researchers worldwide, advancing treatments and improving survival rates for childhood cancer across the globe.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital upholds the fundamental principle that every child deserves access to world-class medical care, regardless of their financial situation, race, or religious background. To fulfill this mission, St. Jude covers all expenses related to treatment, travel, housing, and food for families whose children are receiving care at their facilities. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude—ensuring financial burdens don’t stand in the way of a child’s care.
