About St. Jude
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened its doors on February 4, 1962. Since then, we’ve helped improve the survival rate of childhood cancer from 20% to 80%. Acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (ALL), the disease with a virtual death sentence in 1962, now has a survival rate of 94%.
Today, we’re a world leader in developing new, improved treatments for children with cancer, and we create more clinical trials for cancer than any other children's hospital. We freely share those breakthroughs, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
