Our global impact
Finding cures. Saving children.® Everywhere.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 60 years ago.
Despite that progress, four in five children with cancer in low- and middle-income countries will not survive.
The emphasis on the global impact of St. Jude is critical to saving children. We won't stop until no child dies from cancer, no matter where they live.
Guests walk under flags that represent the countries of St. Jude doctors and researchers.

One red blood cell transfusion
Children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases often need transfusions.

Physical therapy is provided to patients because children with life-threatening diseases like cancer may develop developmental, cognitive or physical impairments as a result of their illnesses and their treatments.

Parent necessities for 20 patient families
Parents who bring their children to St. Jude often leave home in a hurry and forget to pack day-to-day necessities such as shampoos, razors, deodorant, toothbrushes and lotion. At Tri Delta Place, our short-term housing facility, parents can obtain these essentials free of charge.
