Infectious Disease Treatment at St. Jude
Worthy Cause Wednesday
Did you know about St. Jude’s Infectious Disease Treatment?
St. Jude’s is changing the way the world treats and defeats pediatric infectious diseases and infections.
The Infectious Disease Program started when St. Jude opened its doors to patients in 1962. They specialize in managing infection in:
- Children and young adults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- Severely immunocompromised children, including those undergoing stem cell/bone marrow transplants
- Children with infectious diseases
A Focus on HIV
In 1987, St. Jude founder danny Thomas declared AIDS a catastrophic disease of children. Soon after, the hospital made HIV/AIDS a research priority, and created the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trial Unit (PACTU).
Today, more than 250 patients are part PACTU. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has designated it a "Center of Excellence."
So when we say that your referrals help the kids, can you see how donations to worthy causes like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital can make a difference?
