St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, is a hospital and research center focused on pediatric cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases. It is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted exclusively to children. Eight affiliate clinics across the country support care delivery, and the hospital treats about 8,600 children each year, while research and treatments are shared to improve outcomes worldwide. In addition to direct patient care, St. Jude pursues research into acute lymphoblastic leukemia, brain tumors, and infectious diseases, with findings applied to clinical care for children globally. It operates St. Jude Global, an initiative to extend health care improvements beyond the United States. In 2026, the hospital announced plans for a major expansion—the Advanced Research Center II tower, a multistory facility intended to accelerate its research efforts.
