Grammy, Stellar, Dove Award Winner Erica Campbell Gives Amazing Performance at
Closing Ceremony for St. Jude “Celebration of Hope” Weekend
It was a busy time in Memphis, TN over the weekend, as guests from across the country converged on this historic city to see for themselves, what was going on with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
From a tour of the hospital, research areas, classrooms for the patients and hearing directly from the families, this was a weekend that touched the lives of many with a better understand of what St. Jude provides its patients.
Over the past five decades, St. Jude has made remarkable progress toward curing childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. However for the people who work there, they want to do more. They want to push for their cure rates to be higher, while developing tailored treatments to decrease side effects.
As of 2015, St. Jude plans to double the number of children enrolled in St. Jude-led clinical trials. The hospital will also initiate a proton therapy program, create a national referral clinic for rare pediatric cancers, and launch a program aimed at harnessing the immune system to combat cancer.
St. Jude is also, not solely focused on childhood cancer, but it also focuses on research and treatment of other life-threatening diseases in children. It has one of the largest and most active sickle cell disease programs in the nation and treats approximately 800 children per year with sickle cell disease.
However one of the biggest blessings that St. Jude offers its patients and their families is hope. They do this by allowing families not having to receive a bill from their facility for treatment, travel, housing or food. St. Jude believes that families dealing with health challenges should not have to worry about anything, other than helping their child to live. Additionally, and amazingly, on average 7,800 active patients visit the hospital each year, and all at not cost.
St. Jude also freely shares their medical discoveries with other doctors and scientists worldwide, as they have become known as a “hospital without walls”. However by them sharing their knowledge, their research has helped saved the lives of thousands of children around the world.
