St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas and is supported primarily by donations raised through the support of many well-known public personalities. All children served at St. Jude are treated regardless of their ability to pay.
St. Jude combines research and patient care under one roof, serving children from all over the world who are fighting cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly and are published and cited more often than any other private pediatric oncology research institution in America. This is a place where cutting-edge research and amazing discoveries happen on a daily basis.
An extensive expansion was recently completed that more than doubled the size of the original campus allowing increases in the hospital’s research and treatment efforts. The expansion included the Children’s GMP; an expanded Department of Immunology; and a new Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics for discovery of new drugs.
The new Chili’s Care Center integrates patient care and research where rapidly evolving CT (computerized tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance) technology keep St. Jude at the cutting edge for radiation therapy in a pediatric / adolescent setting.
