Focused on cures for children's catastrophic diseases, Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital is a leading pediatric treatment and research facility in the country. Devoting their efforts to curing the diseases of children, this great organization was named after Saint Jude, the Catholic patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes.
The hospital was founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas who felt that no child should die in the dawn of life and has been funded for years solely on donations, as each child that is accepted into the hospital is not asked to pay a single dime towards the cost of their treatment. Due to this, St. Jude has become the third largest health care hospital in the country. Many people owe great thanks to this wonderful organization and it is a blessing that this opportunity is around for those who need it. What a wonderful caring service to offer for those that are less fortunate in such a tragic time of need.
