Each year St. Jude treats 4,600 patients, 70 patients from Central Illinois being treated  in Peoria, 800 since 1972.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a world-renowned center for the treatment and research of life threatening childhood diseases, such as cancer, sickle cell anemia, and pediatric AIDS. Since the Hospital’s founding in 1962, by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, it has treated more than 17,000 children from around the world. All children are treated regardless of race, religion or ability to pay. As we continue to strive for a cure, your dollars make this endeavor possible.
