About Us

The Together by St. Jude™ online resource provides complete, trustworthy information for those facing childhood and adolescent cancer, blood disorders, and other serious health conditions. 

Produced by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Together by St. Jude™ online resource offers:

• Information about medical conditions and treatments 
  
• Information on supportive care for families and patients 
  
• Shared stories of hope and healing from patients across the world
  

We walk side-by-side with patients and families throughout the care journey. No matter where you are, we want to support you and provide the health information you need.

St. Jude was founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas, who felt that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” Since that time, we have become a global leader in patient- and family-centered care for children and adolescents with cancer and other serious diseases.
