PART III, LINE 2:	BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS EQUAL TO CHARGES ON ACCOUNTSDETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. SEE NARRATIVE FOR PART I, LINE 3CREGARDING THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY.
PART III, LINE 4:	BAD DEBT EXPENSE EXPLANATION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES IS AS FOLLOWS:"NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUES AND RECEIVABLES -- NO FAMILY EVER PAYS THE HOSPITAL FOR THE CARE THEIR CHILD RECEIVES. ACCORDINGLY, NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE CONSISTS ONLY OF ESTIMATED NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS FOR SERVICES RENDERED, INCLUDING ESTIMATED RETROACTIVE REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS (IF NECESSARY) DUE TO FUTURE AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON AN ESTIMATED BASIS IN THE PERIOD THE RELATED SERVICES ARE RENDERED, AND SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ADJUSTED IN FUTURE PERIODS AS ADJUSTMENTS BECOME KNOWN OR AS YEARS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO SUCH AUDITS, REVIEWS, AND INVESTIGATIONS. PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE HAS BEEN REDUCED BY ADJUSTMENTS FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $831,000 AND $681,000 IN 2015 AND 2014 RESPECTIVELY."ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL DOES NOT CONSIDER BAD DEBT EXPENSE A COMMUNITY BENEFIT.
PART III, LINE 8:	ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL DOES NOT CONSIDER THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO DETERMINE MEDICARE ALLOWABLE COSTS OF CARE.
PART III, LINE 9B:	COLLECTION POLICIES ARE THE SAME FOR ALL PATIENTS. ANY LEGAL OBLIGATION OF PAYMENT FOR A PATIENT'S COSTS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE IS COVERED BY THE GENEROUS ASSISTANCE OF ST. JUDE DONORS. BECAUSE OF THIS SUPPORT, ST. JUDE DOES NOT ASK ANY PATIENT TO PAY.
PART VI, LINE 2:	ST. JUDE'S PRIMARY CLINICAL EFFORT CENTERS ON PROVIDING GROUND-BREAKING, RESEARCH-DRIVEN TREATMENTS FOR CHILDHOOD CANCERS AND OTHER CATASTROPHIC DISEASES IN CHILDREN.CANCERCHILDHOOD CANCERS ARE RARE. ONLY 10,380 NEW CASES ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR AMONG CHILDREN 14 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER IN 2015; HOWEVER, CANCER IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DISEASE RELATED DEATH IN U.S. CHILDREN.(FOOTNOTE 1). THE PRINCIPLE FOCUS OF ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL IS CANCER. SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF ALL RESOURCES AT ST. JUDE ARE INVESTED IN ELUCIDATING BASIC BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF PEDIATRIC CANCERS, AND TRANSLATING THIS KNOWLEDGE INTO IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS AND CURATIVE THERAPIES, WHILE MINIMIZING LONG-TERM SIDE EFFECTS. SEVENTY PERCENT OF OUR CANCER PATIENTS ARE FROM A 10-STATE REGION. THIS INCLUDES THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY STATES OF TN, MS, AR, MO, AL, KY, GA, FL AND STATES WITH ST. JUDE AFFILIATE CLINICS (LA, IL, MO, AL, EASTERN TN). THE DISTRIBUTION OF ST. JUDE CANCER CASES IN RELATION TO RACE, ETHNICITY, AND GENDER IS CONSISTENTLY ALIGNED WITH THE GENERAL DEMOGRAPHICS OF THAT 10-STATE REGION (BASED ON 2010 DATA FROM THE US CENSUS BUREAU) AND WITH THE CANCER SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHICS (BASED ON SURVEILLANCE EPIDEMIOLOGY AND END RESULTS (SEER) 2009 DATA). FOR EXAMPLE, ESTIMATES FROM THE 2009 SEER DATA SUGGEST THAT WHITES COMPRISE 63%, BLACKS 18.8% AND HISPANICS 15.9% OF THE PEDIATRIC CANCER CASES IN THE 10-STATE REGION. REMARKABLY, 69%, 19%, AND 13%, RESPECTIVELY, OF WHITES, BLACKS AND HISPANICS CONSTITUTE OUR CANCER PATIENT POPULATION. (FOOTNOTE 2). (NOT EQUAL TO 100% SINCE SUMMARIZES RACE AND ETHNICITY.) DEMOGRAPHICS FROM THE ST. JUDE PEDIATRIC CANCER COHORT ARE COMPARED WITH THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE 10-STATE REGION ANNUALLY TO MONITOR DEMOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF OUR CANCER PATIENTS IN RELATION TO THE 10-STATE REGION. ALSO MONITORED ANNUALLY IS THE DISTRIBUTION OF SPECIFIC CANCERS IN THE 10-STATE REGION AND COMPARED WITH THE ST. JUDE CANCER POPULATION.OUR RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS ARE INFORMED BY THE CHILDREN TREATED AT ST. JUDE AND OUR AFFILIATE CLINICS. ST. JUDE OFFERS THERAPEUTIC TRIALS FOR A VARIETY OF CANCERS INCLUDING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) TUMORS, NON-CNS SOLID TUMORS, AND LEUKEMIA/LYMPHOMA. MANY OF THESE TRIALS ARE INSTITUTIONALLY SPONSORED; HOWEVER, ST. JUDE ALSO PARTICIPATES IN A NUMBER OF CLINICAL TRIALS CONSORTIA PROVIDING OUR CANCER PATIENTS ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF THERAPEUTIC STUDIES. PEDIATRIC CANCER PATIENTS MAY EXPERIENCE TREATMENT-RELATED SIDE EFFECTS MANY YEARS AFTER DIAGNOSIS. THE CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVOR STUDY AND ST. JUDE LIFE ARE TWO STUDIES, ACTIVE AT ST. JUDE, ASSESSING LATE EFFECTS OF CANCER THERAPY ON PEDIATRIC CANCER SURVIVORS. INFORMATION FROM THESE STUDIES WILL BE USED TO DEFINE RISK GROUPS FOR VARIOUS LATE EFFECTS AND ASSESS INTERVENTIONS.THE RARITY OF PEDIATRIC CANCERS AND OUR UNIQUE POSITION AS A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR THE RESEARCH AND TREATMENT OF CANCER MEANS THAT OUR REACH IS EXTENSIVE, INCLUDING LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS. MANY OF OUR INITIATIVES ARE DESIGNED TO IMPACT PEDIATRIC CANCER TREATMENT ON A GLOBAL SCALE. THE NATIONAL COMPREHENSIVE CANCER NETWORK (NCCN), A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ALLIANCE OF 26 OF THE WORLD'S LEADING CANCER CENTERS, IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF CARE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WITH CANCER (WWW.NCCN.ORG). ST. JUDE, A NCCN MEMBER IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER/THE WEST CLINIC, PARTICIPATES IN A NUMBER OF THE VARIOUS COMMITTEES AND GUIDELINES PANELS THAT WORK TOWARD THE GOAL OF IMPROVING THE QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CARE PROVIDED TO PATIENTS WITH CANCER. THE NCCN GUIDELINES HAVE BECOME THE MOST WIDELY USED GUIDELINES IN ONCOLOGY PRACTICE AND HAVE BEEN REQUESTED BY CANCER CARE PROFESSIONALS IN MORE THAN 115 COUNTRIES.ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, INDIVIDUALS WITH LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS HAVE HIGHER CANCER INCIDENCE RATES BECAUSE OF ENGAGING IN LIFESTYLE BEHAVIORS THAT INCREASE CANCER RISK. (FOOTNOTE 1). THE ST. JUDE CANCER EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN PROGRAM IS A LOCAL COMMUNITY EFFORT THAT USES EDUCATION AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT CAN HELP CHILDREN REDUCE THEIR RISK OF CANCER IN ADULTHOOD. EDUCATIONAL COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS OBESITY, NUTRITION, SMOKING, AND SUN EXPOSURE, IMPORTANT ISSUES IN PROMOTING CHILDHOOD HEALTH AND PRIMARY CANCER PREVENTION. THE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IS OVERSEEN BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM COMPOSED OF ST. JUDE FACULTY AND STAFF, LOCAL EDUCATORS, AND LOCAL HEALTH EXPERTS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THE CONTENT ACHIEVES THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM WHILE ALIGNING TO STATE AND NATIONAL EDUCATION STANDARDS. DURING THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR, THE SCHOOL OUTREACH TEAM WORKED WITH 21 EDUCATORS FROM 18 SCHOOLS AND 1 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION IN THE MEMPHIS AREA TO DELIVER THE PROGRAM TO OVER 1600 K-12 STUDENTS. IMPORTANTLY, ONE THIRD OF THE SCHOOLS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM WERE TITLE I FUNDED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN ENROLLED FROM LOW SOCIOECONOMIC FAMILIES.HEMATOLOGYTHE GEOGRAPHIC CATCHMENT AREA FOR ST. JUDE ENCOMPASSES 21 COUNTIES IN WESTERN TENNESSEE INCLUDING MEMPHIS, AND AREAS IN EAST ARKANSAS, NORTH MISSISSIPPI, AND A FEW COUNTIES IN MISSOURI. MORE THAN 70,000 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE SICKLE CELL DISEASE (SCD), AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE SUFFER FROM THE DISEASE. IT IS THE MOST FREQUENT GENETIC BLOOD DISORDER IN THE WORLD. ST. JUDE HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST PEDIATRIC SCD PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY AND PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT AND EDUCATION TO ABOUT 900 CHILDREN WITH SCD IN THE GEOGRAPHIC CATCHMENT AREA. SCD IS DIAGNOSED BY STATE-WIDE NEWBORN SCREENING IN ALL 50 STATES. ST. JUDE HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH NEWBORN SCREENING PROGRAMS IN TN AND MS THAT ENSURES A STABLE RELATIONSHIP AMONG PARENTS, PATIENTS, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. ABOUT 50 NEWBORNS WITH SCD ARE IDENTIFIED EACH YEAR IN OUR GEOGRAPHIC CATCHMENT AREA. OUR SCD INFANT TODDLER PROGRAM CONTACTS AND ACCEPTS ALL CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH THE DISEASE TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE CARE SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, ST. JUDE PROVIDES TRAIT COUNSELING SERVICE TO ALL INFANTS BORN WITH SICKLE CELL TRAIT TO 21 COUNTIES IN WESTERN TN. ST. JUDE PROVIDES CONFIRMATORY TESTING, EDUCATION AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE AND FOLLOW-UP THROUGHOUT CHILDHOOD FOR CHILDREN WITH SCD DISEASE. FROM BIRTH TO AGE 18 YEARS, PATIENTS ARE CLINICALLY EVALUATED AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS, RECEIVE EDUCATION AND MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SERVICES ACCORDING TO STANDARDIZED TREATMENT AND EDUCATION GUIDELINES. SERVICES ALSO INCLUDE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. ST. JUDE HAS ESTABLISHED A FORMAL TRANSITION PROGRAM TO ADULT CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH SCD AND PROVIDES SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE TRANSITION PROCESS BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE ADULT SCD PROGRAMS AT METHODIST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND REGIONAL ONE HOSPITAL. THE SCD PROGRAM AT ST. JUDE CLOSELY COLLABORATES WITH SEVERAL FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE CENTERS, WITH COMMUNITY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, LATINO MEMPHIS (THE LARGEST HISPANIC SOCIAL AGENCY IN TENNESSEE), WITH THE SICKLE CELL FOUNDATION OF TENNESSEE (A COMMUNITY-BASED SCD ORGANIZATION), AND WITH REGIONAL SCD PROVIDERS TO ENSURE A MEDICAL HOME AND ADEQUATE SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR ALL SCD PATIENTS IN THE AREA. ST. JUDE ASSESSES PATIENT NEEDS THROUGH PARENT AND PATIENT SURVEYS, INTER-ACTIVE EDUCATION, MATERIALS REVIEW, AND THROUGH GROUP DISCUSSIONS WITH PARENTS AND PATIENTS.ST. JUDE ALSO PROVIDES CLINICAL SERVICES FOR APPROXIMATELY 800 CHILDREN PER YEAR WITH OTHER NON-MALIGNANT HEMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS THROUGH A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS. ALL CHILDREN FROM THE GEOGRAPHIC CATCHMENT AREA OF ST. JUDE (AS OUTLINED ABOVE) WITH ILLNESSES SUCH AS HEMOPHILIA, APLASTIC ANEMIA, THROMBOSIS, THALASSEMIA, SPHEROCYTOSIS, AND IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA AND OTHER NON-MALIGNANT HEMATOLOGIC DISORDERS ARE REFERRED TO AND RECEIVE STATE-OF THE-ART CARE FROM ST. JUDE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL STAFF. ST. JUDE IS ONE OF A SELECT GROUP OF FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED PEDIATRIC HEMOPHILIA TREATMENT CENTERS AND PROVIDES STATE-OF-THE-ART COMPREHENSIVE CARE TO APPROXIMATELY 300 CHILDREN WITH BLEEDING AND THROMBOSIS DISORDERS.(NOTE: THIS NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 2 CONTINUED BELOW.)-SEE PAGE 83/116
PART VI, LINE 3:	AS NOTED IN PART I, LINE 3C, NO FAMILY EVER PAYS ST. JUDE FOR TREATMENT. IN ADDITION, ST. JUDE PROVIDES AN UNPARALLED LEVEL OF SUPPORT SERVICES AT NO COST TO FAMILIES. WE ALSO HAVE PROGRAMS TO ASSIST FAMILIES IN ENROLLING IN VARIOUS PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY MAY QUALIFY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TENNCARE/MEDICAID, COVER KIDS, CHIPS AND SOCIAL SECURITY. DOING SO ENSURES AN APPROPRIATE SAFETY NET SHOULD THE FAMILY SEEK TREATMENT OUTSIDE OF ST. JUDE AND IT ALLOWS US TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF DONOR DOLLARS. WE UTILIZE AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE APPLICATION ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY IS POSTED ON WWW.STJUDE.ORG. THE POLICY IS COMMUNICATED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. FOR FAMILIES SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGES, WE UTILIZE ONSITE INTERPRETER SERVICES AND/OR PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTED TRANSLATION SERVICES.
PART VI, LINE 4:	THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY ST. JUDE CAN BEST BE DEFINED BY UNDERSTANDING ST. JUDE'S PATIENT POPULATION AND SCOPE OF CLINICAL SERVICES. ST. JUDE IS A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL THAT TREATS PEDIATRIC CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS, AND CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH HIV INFECTION. IT SERVES AS A NATIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER AS WELL AS A LOCAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER, BLOOD DISORDERS, AND HIV/AIDS. ST. JUDE ONLY ADMITS CHILDREN WITH THESE DIAGNOSES AND DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL SERVICES BEYOND THOSE NECESSARY TO CARE FOR CHILDREN WITH THESE DISEASES. ST. JUDE DOES NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY ROOM. ABOUT 8,200 ACTIVE PATIENTS ARE SEEN AT ST. JUDE YEARLY, MOST OF WHO ARE ENROLLED ON CLINICAL TRIALS FOR NEW TREATMENTS DEVELOPED BY ST. JUDE AND WHO ARE TREATED ON A CONTINUOUS OUTPATIENT BASIS. THE HOSPITAL IS LICENSED FOR 80 INPATIENT BEDS FOR PATIENTS REQUIRING HOSPITALIZATION DURING TREATMENT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ST. JUDE HAS DEVELOPED UNIQUE RESOURCES THAT ALLOW A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF PATIENTS TO BE TREATED AS OUTPATIENTS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ADMITTED AS INPATIENTS AT MOST HOSPITALS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PATIENT HOUSING DEDICATED SOLELY TO ST. JUDE PATIENT FAMILIES (CAPACITY FOR 996 PATIENTS/FAMILY MEMBERS) DESIGNED WITH INFECTION CONTROL MEASURES SUCH AS HEPA AIR FILTRATION, INFECTION-RESISTANT SURFACES AND OTHER MEDICAL SAFEGUARDS. THE HOSPITAL'S OUTREACH INCLUDES THE LOCAL MARKET, AFFILIATE INSTITUTIONS, OTHER AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES/U.S. TERRITORIES, AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE LOCAL MARKET ENCOMPASSES MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE AND THE SURROUNDING GEOGRAPHIC AREA WITH APPROXIMATELY 24% OF NEW ONCOLOGY PATIENTS RESIDING WITHIN THIS AREA.FY15 NEW CANCER PATIENTSPATIENT ORIGIN % OF TOTALMEMPHIS, TN AND SURROUNDING AREA 24%AFFILIATE 32%NATIONAL (OTHER AREAS OF U.S.) 37%INTERNATIONAL 7%GRAND TOTAL 100% THE ST. JUDE AFFILIATE PROGRAM (AP) IS A NETWORK OF SEVEN AFFILIATED PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY CLINICS IN THE U.S., ALLOWING ST. JUDE TO EXTEND CARE AND BENEFITS TO MORE CHILDREN AND INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN ABLE TO BE TREATED ON ST. JUDE CLINICAL TRIALS. THE PHYSICIANS AND STAFF AT THESE SITES WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE STAFF AT ST. JUDE TO DELIVER PROTOCOL RELATED CARE OR EVIDENCE BASED TREATMENT WHEN NOT PARTICIPATING IN A TRIAL TO PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY PATIENTS, SO THAT PATIENTS CAN RECEIVE CARE CLOSER TO HOME. AFFILIATES ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED IN BATON ROUGE LA, CHARLOTTE NC (AFFILIATION BEGAN APRIL 2015) HUNTSVILLE AL, JOHNSON CITY TN, PEORIA IL, SHREVEPORT LA, AND SPRINGFIELD MO. THE AFFILIATES' ENROLLMENT OF PATIENTS ON ST. JUDE CLINICAL TRIALS HELPS ST. JUDE FIND CURES FASTER AND SAVE MORE CHILDREN. ST. JUDE PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CLINICAL OPERATIONS TO ENSURE EXCELLENT QUALITY OF CARE THAT MEETS ST. JUDE PROTOCOL GUIDELINES AND TO PROVIDE PATIENT ASSISTANCE. THE AP AND OTHER STAFF ASSIST THE AFFILIATES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY PROGRAMS; PROVIDE MONITORING AND CONSULTATION TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PROCESSES FOR THE AFFILIATE CLINIC AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL; AND PROVIDE NUMEROUS EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AND MENTORING FOR AFFILIATE STAFF. IN ADDITION, ST. JUDE HAS MANY PROCESSES TO ENSURE GOOD CONTINUITY OF CARE BETWEEN THE AFFILIATES AND ST. JUDE. THE AFFILIATES' CLINICAL RECORDS FOR SHARED PATIENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN ST. JUDE MEDICAL RECORDS AND EVERY AFFILIATE HAS ACCESS TO ST. JUDE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS OF SHARED PATIENTS. THE AFFILIATES ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO ALL ELECTRONIC RESOURCES, E.G., PATIENT EDUCATION MATERIALS, RESEARCH PROTOCOLS, CLINICAL GUIDELINES AND RESOURCES; EVERYTHING ON THE ST. JUDE INTRANET. IN ADDITION TO ASSISTING THE AFFILIATES, ST. JUDE PROVIDES CONSULTATION SERVICES FOR MORE THAN 3000 NATIONAL AND 700 INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIAN REQUESTS. FOR FY15 PATIENT CONSULTATIONS BY CONTINENT TOTALED 3,761 AS FOLLOWS:CONTINENT NUMBER OF PATIENTS CONSULTATIONSNORTH AMERICA 3,213SOUTH AMERICA 93EUROPE 137AFRICA 35ASIA 232AUSTRALIA 34UNKNOWN LOCATION 17TOTAL 3,761ST. JUDE ALSO OPERATES AN INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM (IOP) AIMED AT IMPROVING SURVIVAL RATES OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND OTHER CATASTROPHIC DISEASES WORLDWIDE. ST. JUDE ACCOMPLISHES THIS BY SHARING KNOWLEDGE, TECHNOLOGY AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, IMPLEMENTING NEW APPROACHES TO TREAT PEDIATRIC CANCER GLOBALLY, AND GENERATING INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS COMMITTED TO ERADICATING CANCER IN CHILDREN. THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 175,000 NEWLY DIAGNOSED CASES OF CHILDHOOD CANCER WORLDWIDE EACH YEAR, AND 84% OCCUR IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES. CANCER IS EMERGING AS A MAJOR CAUSE OF CHILDHOOD DEATH IN ALL DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, REPLACING OTHER CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD MORTALITY (E.G. HIV, MALNUTRITION, INFECTIONS). DESPITE VAST IMPROVEMENTS IN THERAPY AND SURVIVAL IN HIGH-INCOME COUNTRIES OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, AN ESTIMATED 60% DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ADEQUATE DIAGNOSIS AND MODERN CARE. ST. JUDE STRIVES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THOSE CHILDREN IN COUNTRIES THAT LACK SUFFICIENT RESOURCES AND HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR OWN BURDEN OF CASES EFFECTIVELY.WHILE SICK CHILDREN FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE TRAVELED TO OUR HOSPITAL IN MEMPHIS, RECEIVING TREATMENT IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES IS MORE EFFICIENT AND LESS DISRUPTIVE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. BECAUSE OF OUR INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS, WE ARE ABLE TO REACH FAR MORE CHILDREN THAN WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO COME TO MEMPHIS. A BASIC HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE IS NEEDED TO SUPPORT PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY PROGRAMS, WHICH IN TURN FURTHER IMPROVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF BASIC HEALTHCARE. AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, THE IOP DEVELOPS PARTNERSHIPS WITH MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS AND FUND-RAISING ORGANIZATIONS AND FACILITATES THE INVOLVEMENT OF OTHER AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT KEY PROGRAMS AND THE EDUCATION OF LOCAL PERSONNEL. AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL, THE IOP DEVELOPS PROGRAMS THROUGH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND FOSTERS REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER PEDIATRIC MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS. THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO DEVELOP LOCAL AND REGIONAL SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THIS MODEL RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANT OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN HEALTHCARE FACILITIES, THE LEVEL OF PRACTICE, THE CONFIDENCE OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. ST. JUDE EMPHASIZES THE BUILDING OF REGIONAL EXPERTISE AND DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES, WHICH PROVIDE A CRITICAL MASS OF PROFESSIONALS WHO CONTINUALLY LEARN FROM AND ASSIST EACH OTHER. COST EFFICIENCY IS ALSO REALIZED BECAUSE OF SHARED RESOURCES.ST. JUDE HAS PARTNERSHIPS WITH 24 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS (AND THEIR SUPPORTING FOUNDATIONS) ACROSS 17 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES-BRAZIL, CHILE, CHINA, COSTA RICA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HAITI, HONDURAS, JORDAN, LEBANON, MEXICO, MOROCCO, NICARAGUA, PHILIPPINES, VENEZUELA. ST. JUDE WORKS WITH ITS PARTNERS TO DEVELOP EVIDENCED-BASED TREATMENT PROTOCOLS TAILORED TO REGIONAL NEEDS AND RESOURCES. ADDITIONALLY, ST. JUDE PHYSICIANS AND NURSES SERVE AS MENTORS TO CLINICAL PERSONNEL AT PARTNER SITES, PROVIDE LOCAL AND ONLINE TRAINING FOR ONCOLOGY CARE, DIAGNOSIS, AND SUPPORTIVE CARE, AND PARTICIPATE IN ONLINE MEETINGS TO DISCUSS CLINICAL CARE BEST PRACTICES. THE MAJORITY OF ONLINE MEETINGS HELD AND TRAINING PROVIDED IS VIA ST. JUDE'S WEB-BASED PLATFORM, ST. JUDE CURE4KIDS(TM), A FREE RESOURCE FOR ALL GLOBAL PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY PROFESSIONALS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR AFFILIATION WITH ST. JUDE OR ITS PARTNERS. FINALLY, ST. JUDE PARTNERS WITH LOCAL FUNDRAISING ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE MEDICAL PROGRAMS. THIS MODEL HAS PROVEN TO BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN PROVIDING POOR CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ACCESS TO MODERN TREATMENT AND CARE.ST. JUDE IS A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN BASIC RESEARCH DISCOVERIES PERTAIN TO DISEASES THAT ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF DISEASES TREATED AS A PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS AT ST. JUDE.
PART VI, LINE 5:	ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL WAS OPENED IN 1962 BY ENTERTAINER DANNY THOMAS, WITH THE PURPOSE OF "IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH THROUGH RESEARCH IN BIOLOGY AND PEDIATRICS." OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE CURES, AND MEANS OF PREVENTION, FOR PEDIATRIC CATASTROPHIC DISEASES THROUGH RESEARCH AND TREATMENT. CONSISTENT WITH THE VISION OF OUR FOUNDER, NO CHILD IS DENIED TREATMENT BASED ON RACE, RELIGION OR A FAMILY'S ABILITY TO PAY. OUR VISION IS TO BE THE WORLD LEADER IN ADVANCING THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF CATASTROPHIC DISEASES IN CHILDREN. THIS VISION IS PURSUED BY PROVIDING OUTSTANDING PATIENT CARE; BY CONDUCTING BASIC, TRANSLATIONAL AND CLINICAL RESEARCH DESIGNED TO ELUCIDATE BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS, UNDERSTAND DISEASE PATHOGENESIS, IMPROVE DIAGNOSIS, ENHANCE TREATMENT OUTCOME, PREVENT DISEASES AND MINIMIZE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OF TREATMENT; AND BY EDUCATING HEALTHCARE AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS WE SEEK TO CURE AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR AN INCREASING PROPORTION OF CHILDREN WHO COME TO US FOR TREATMENT, AND BY EXPANDING AND SHARING KNOWLEDGE, TO ADVANCE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CATASTROPHIC DISEASES WORLD-WIDE, WHILE DEVELOPING STRATEGIES TO PREVENT CATASTROPHIC DISEASES IN CHILDREN.ST. JUDE COMBINES LABORATORY AND CLINICAL RESEARCH TO ADVANCE THE CARE OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND OTHER CATASTROPHIC DISEASES. FOCUSING ON PROVIDING OUTSTANDING PATIENT CARE RESULTS IN RESEARCH FINDINGS THAT TRANSLATE INTO IMPROVED PATIENT OUTCOME. ST. JUDE HAS AN ACADEMIC FACULTY ENGAGED IN A BROAD SPECTRUM OF RESEARCH INCLUDING THERAPEUTIC TRIALS, INVESTIGATION OF DISEASE PATHOGENESIS AND DISCOVERY-ORIENTED BASIC RESEARCH.HOSPITAL OPERATIONS ARE OVERSEEN BY A BOARD OF GOVERNORS; THE MAJORITY ARE NEITHER EMPLOYEES NOR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF THE ORGANIZATION, NOR FAMILY MEMBERS THEREOF. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY A SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD COMPOSED OF INTERNATIONALLY PROMINENT PHYSICIANS AND SCIENTISTS.ST. JUDE CONTRIBUTED TO THE BUILDING OF A STATE-OF-THE ART NEUROSURGICAL FACILITY FOR TREATING PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IN THE SURROUNDING VICINITY AND ST. JUDE BRAIN TUMOR PATIENTS. THE FACILITY IS EQUIPPED WITH INTRA-OPERATIVE IMAGING EQUIPMENT (IMRI). WHEN PURCHASED, ONLY TWO NEUROSURGICAL FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES PROVIDED PATIENTS THIS LEVEL OF TREATMENT WHICH ALLOWS IMAGING TO TAKE PLACE DURING SURGICAL PROCEDURES. IMRI EQUIPMENT ALLOWS SURGEONS TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS DURING THE SURGERY. LIVE WEB CASTS ALLOW OTHERS TO VIEW PROCEDURES. OUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS FACILITY HELPS ASSURE THAT CHILDREN IN THE AREA HAVE ACCESS TO THE BEST NEUROSURGICAL TREATMENT AVAILABLE.ST. JUDE COMPLETED THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PEDIATRIC CANCER GENOME PROJECT IN JANUARY 2013--A COLLABORATION WITH WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TO FIND CLUES TO THE CAUSES OF CHILDHOOD CANCER AND POTENTIAL NEW TREATMENTS AND CURES. THE PROJECT HAS RESULTED IN GROUND-BREAKING DISCOVERIES IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AGGRESSIVE CHILDHOOD CANCERS INCLUDING RETINOBLASTOMA, MEDULLOBLASTOMA, NEUROBLASTOMA, DIFFUSE INTRINSIC PONTINE GLIOMA, TWO AGGRESSIVE FORMS OF LEUKEMIA AND LOW-GRADE GLIOMAS. IN DECEMBER 2012, THE PEDIATRIC CANCER GENOME PROJECT WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP 10 MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS AND, IN 2013, AS ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP 100 NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES. THE PCGP RECENTLY LAUNCHED PHASE 2 OF THE PROJECT, A TWO-YEAR, $30 MILLION ENDEAVOR THAT WILL EXAMINE THE CANCER SAMPLES FROM 300 CHILDREN AND FOCUS ON DEFINING MUTATIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO TUMOR FORMATION, CHARACTERIZING THE STATE OF THE CANCER CELL'S EPIGENOME AND DESCRIBE HOW IT DIFFERS FROM WHAT IS SEEN IN THE NORMAL CELLS. THE SECOND PHASE ALSO INCLUDES A CLINICAL GENOMICS PROJECT CALLED GENOMES FOR KIDS THAT WILL INVOLVE NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING FOR EVERY CHILD WITH CANCER WHO WALKS THROUGH THE DOORS AT ST. JUDE. WHEN PHASE 2 IS COMPLETE, ST. JUDE HOPES TO HAVE A MODEL FOR HOW TO EXTEND GENOME SEQUENCING TO EVERY CHILDHOOD CANCER PATIENT IN THE UNITED STATES. FROM ITS BEGINNINGS IN 2010, THE PCGP IS THE LARGEST, BROADEST, PRIVATELY FUNDED SEQUENCING PROJECT FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND NOW HAS SEQUENCED MORE THAN 700 MATCHED PAIRS OF TUMOR AND HEALTHY GENOMES FROM YOUNG PATIENTS. THE PCGP HAS PROVIDED NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE MUTATIONS THAT UNDERLIE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF A RANGE OF CHILDHOOD CANCERS, AND HAS LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF MORE EFFECTIVE, LESS TOXIC THERAPIES. THE PROJECT HAS LED TO NEW DIRECTIONS IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HIGH-RISK LEUKEMIA, BRAIN AND SOLID TUMORS AS WELL AS NEW COMPUTATIONAL METHODS THAT HAVE BEEN SHARED FOR FREE WITH THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY.THE CYCLOTRON (PARTICLE ACCELERATOR) AT ST. JUDE ENABLES RESEARCHERS TO TRACK THE GROWTH OF CANCER CELLS, PINPOINT THE PRODUCTION OF NEW DNA BY TUMOR CELLS AND STUDY THE HEARTS OF ADULT PATIENTS RETURNING TO ST. JUDE FOR LIFETIME FOLLOW-UP. THE CYCLOTRON HELPS RESEARCHERS BETTER UNDERSTAND CHILDHOOD CANCER BY ENABLING THEM TO PRODUCE NEW, VERY SHORT-ACTING TRACERS.ST. JUDE UTILIZES THE SERVICES OF CHILDREN'S GMP, LLC (OF WHICH ST. JUDE IS THE SOLE MEMBER). CHILDREN'S GMP, LLC MANAGES AND OPERATES A GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE (GMP) FACILITY WHICH ENGAGES IN THE PRODUCTION OF BIOLOGICS AND DRUGS FOR RESEARCH. THE GMP OFFERS RESOURCES TO STUDY RARE DISEASES OVERLOOKED BY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES BECAUSE THERE IS LITTLE PROFIT IN MANUFACTURING DRUGS FOR LESSER KNOWN DISEASES. THE FACILITY, OPERATING ACCORDING TO APPROVED FDA STANDARDS, ALLOWS DOCTORS TO TAILOR TREATMENTS SPECIFICALLY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL CHILD.THE CELL AND TISSUE IMAGING CENTER INCLUDES ELECTRON MICROSCOPY AND LIGHT MICROSCOPY. THE FACILITY PROVIDES INVESTIGATORS ACCESS TO TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, CONFOCAL LASER SCANNING MICROSCOPY, MULTIPHOTON MICROSCOPY, IMAGE ANALYSIS, CELL MICROINJECTION AND LIVE CELL IMAGING. THE FEI TECNAI 20 200KV FEG ELECTRON MICROSCOPE, WHICH CAN MAGNIFY AN OBJECT 700,000 TIMES, IS AT THE HEART OF THIS PROGRAM. THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE INSTRUMENT IS ONE OF ONLY 200 OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD. THIS TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS RESEARCHERS TO GET A CLOSER LOOK AT CANCER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW IT GROWS AND SPREADS AND RESPONDS TO THERAPY. USING THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE, RESEARCHERS LEARN HOW CANCER CELLS BREAK AWAY FROM THE TUMOR AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY.CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW PATIENT CARE AND RESEARCH BUILDING ON THE ST. JUDE CAMPUS IS UNDERWAY. THE FACILITY WILL HOUSE PROTON BEAM RADIATION THERAPY TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO DELIVER RADIATION THERAPY FOR TREATING CHILDREN WITH BRAIN TUMORS AND SEVERAL OTHER CHILDHOOD CANCERS. PROTON THERAPY IS FAR LESS DAMAGING TO SURROUNDING HEALTHY TISSUE THAN OTHER CURRENT RADIATION THERAPIES. THIS EQUIPMENT WILL ENABLE ST. JUDE TO PROVIDE THIS THERAPY IN A MORE INTEGRATED MANNER TO OUTPATIENTS AND ALLOW OUR RADIATION ONCOLOGISTS TO LEAD THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TREATMENTS WITH PROTONS. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO OTHER PROTON THERAPY CENTERS IN THE WORLD DEDICATED SOLELY TO THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN.TO FURTHER PALLIATIVE SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY, ST. JUDE PARTICIPATED WITH LE BONHEUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN DEVELOPING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL KIDS PALLIATIVE PROGRAM FOR SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN. HOSPICE STAFF, BOTH IN THE HOME AND IN THE HOSPICE RESIDENCE, PROVIDES INTERDISCIPLINARY CARE TO CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE ILLNESS TRAJECTORY AND CONCURRENT THERAPIES.ST. JUDE ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERS AND FACULTY MEMBERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF BRINGING NATIONAL ATTENTION TO THE PEDIATRIC CANCER DRUG SHORTAGE TOPIC, ACTIVELY ENGAGING REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE BODIES TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THESE DRUG SHORTAGES HAVE ON PEDIATRIC CARE AND RESEARCH. PRESENTATIONS OR WRITTEN TESTIMONY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO THE FDA CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH WORKSHOP, TWO SENATE HEARINGS, AND HEALTH SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND COMMERCE. ST. JUDE FOCUSES ON EDUCATING AND TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DOCTORS, NURSES, RESEARCHERS AND ACADEMIC LEADERS. FROM PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO THE POST-DOCTORAL LEVEL, THE HOSPITAL PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN PREPARING FUTURE LEADERS OF SCIENCE AND MEDICINE. IN ADDITION TO ONSITE EDUCATION, THE INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM PROVIDES AN EDUCATION AND COLLABORATION WEB SITE, CURE4KIDSTM (WWW.CURE4KIDS.ORG). (NOTE: THIS NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 5 IS CONTINUED BELOW.)- SEE PAGE 86/116
PART VI, LINE 2 (CONTINUATION FROM PAGE 72/116)	IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING STANDARDIZED CARE TO THESE PATIENT POPULATIONS, ST. JUDE HEMATOLOGY DEDICATES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO CLINICAL, TRANSLATIONAL, AND BASIC RESEARCH TO IMPROVE SURVIVAL AND DECREASE MORBIDITY OF CHILDREN WITH NON-MALIGNANT CHRONIC BLOOD DISEASES. MOST PATIENTS PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH STUDIES, WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN CLINICAL CARE. FOR EXAMPLE, RECENT RESULTS FROM THE BABY HUG TRIAL SHOWED THAT DAILY ORAL HYDROXYUREA IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN WITH SCD, WHICH LED TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF ITS GENERAL USE IN THIS SUBPOPULATION. ALSO, IN A FIRST-IN-MAN TRIAL, ST. JUDE HEMATOLOGY SHOWED THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF A NOVEL GENE TRANSFER AGENT CARRYING THE FACTOR IX GENE FOR TREATMENT OF HEMOPHILIA B; ALL TEN ADULT PARTICIPANTS WITH SEVERE HEMOPHILIA B HAD NO SERIOUS UNEXPECTED SIDE EFFECTS AND ALL PARTICIPANTS SHOWED AN INCREASE IN FACTOR IX LEVELS LEADING TO A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN THEIR BLEEDING TENDENCY. FUTURE EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON FINDING VIABLE CURES AND/OR TREATMENTS TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN WITH SCD AND OTHER NON-MALIGNANT, CHRONIC HEMATOLOGIC DISEASES.HIVTHE COMPREHENSIVE HIV CARE AND PREVENTION PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH AT ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL (SJCRH) WAS INITIATED IN 1987. LOCATED IN MEMPHIS, TN AND COLLABORATIVE AFFILIATIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TN HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER, THE PROGRAM SERVES IN AN AREA OF THE COUNTRY WHICH HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY AFFECTED BY THE HIV EPIDEMIC, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUTH.SINCE ITS BEGINNING, THE HIV CLINICAL AND RESEARCH PROGRAM AT ST. JUDE HAS SERVED INFANTS, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS (BIRTH THROUGH 24 YEARS OF AGE) BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE, CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, A FULL PHARMACY, PATIENT ADVOCACY, PSYCHOSOCIAL, AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE SERVICES INCLUDE AN ONSITE DYSPLASIA CLINIC SETUP FOR HIGH RESOLUTION ANOSCOPY AND COLPOSCOPY. THE ADOLESCENT MEDICINE TRIALS NETWORK (ATN)-SPONSORED NATIONAL PROJECT, CONNECT TO PROTECT (C2P), HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TO THE STRONG COMMUNITY TIES THAT THE ST. JUDE HIV CARE AND PREVENTION PROGRAM HAS ESTABLISHED AND STRENGTHENED OVER THE PAST NINE YEARS. THE COALITION, THROUGH ITS WORK TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE POLICIES, PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF REDUCING THE NUMBER OF INFECTED INDIVIDUALS IN VULNERABLE POPULATIONS; INCLUDES 25 PARTNERS REPRESENTING A RICH AND DIVERSE MIX OF INDIVIDUALS FROM VARIOUS SECTORS IN MEMPHIS. THIS UNIQUE MOBILIZATION OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES ALLOWS FOR THE EXECUTION OF AN AGGRESSIVE PREVENTION STRATEGY PURPOSED TO REDUCE THE RATES OF HIV/AIDS THROUGH ADVOCACY, AWARENESS AND EVIDENCED-BASED INTERVENTIONS. THESE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS (I.E., THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT, FAITH AND COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS) HAVE ALLOWED FOR SHARED RESPONSIBILITY IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE EFFORTS TO CREATE NEW POLICIES, PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS, A TOTAL OF 44 TO DATE, ARE DEVELOPED IN A MANNER THAT GUARANTEES SUSTAINABILITY AND IMPACTS HIV ACQUISITION AND TRANSMISSION. WORKING TO ALIGN THE STRATEGIC PLAN WITH THE HIV CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES YOUTH BARRIERS TO TESTING, SURVEILLANCE REPORTING AND LINKAGE OF NEWLY DIAGNOSED HIV+ YOUTH TO MEDICAL CARE IN RESOURCE POOR COMMUNITIES HAS BEEN A STRONG ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE. THROUGH DATA OBTAINED FROM THE STRATEGIC MULTISITE INITIATIVE FOR LINKAGE AND ENGAGEMENT (SMILE) PROGRAM, COALITION MEMBERS FACILITATED DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSIONS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS, AND STRATEGIZED ON NEW POLICY AND PRACTICE CHANGES RELATED TO COMMONLY IDENTIFIED BARRIERS (DISCLOSURE, TIMELINES OF CONFIRMATORY TEST, MEDICATION/APPOINTMENT ADHERENCE). THIS HAS RESULTED IN APPROXIMATELY 96% (419/437) OF NEWLY DIAGNOSED HIV+ YOUTH BEING ENGAGED IN MEDICAL CARE. THIS SUCCESS SPEAKS TO THE SHARED GOAL, AMONG PARTNER AGENCIES, OF HIV PREVENTION AND IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE FOR THOSE INFECTED. ADDITIONALLY, OUR COMMUNITY EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 34 COMMUNITY BASED EDUCATION AND TESTING EVENTS WITH AN IMPACT OF WELL OVER 3,677 PEOPLE THIS CALENDAR YEAR. 1. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY.

JUDE COLLABORATES WITH CHURCHES, OTHER HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AND CIVIC GROUPS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF HIV/AIDS. THE PRIMARY TARGET IS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY ALTHOUGH OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS ARE ALSO SERVED INCLUDING ASIAN, CAUCASIAN, AND HISPANIC.THE FUNDRAISING SOURCE FOR ST. JUDE IS ALSAC WHICH RAISES FUNDS SOLELY FOR THE HOSPITAL. BECAUSE OF THE HOSPITAL'S MISSION, PEOPLE NATIONWIDE CONTRIBUTE VIA TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. ALSAC CONTRIBUTED $589 MILLION IN FY15 TO SUPPORT ST. JUDE.VOLUNTEERS ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE BY PARTNERING WITH CLINICAL STAFF TO PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL PERSONAL TOUCH. VOLUNTEERS ALSO HELP ENSURE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THEY LEND ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE CONCERN BY OFFERING A LISTENING EAR TO FAMILIES AT A TIME WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST. THEY ARE VITAL AMBASSADORS FOR THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY.

JUDE CANCER EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN PROGRAM IS A SCHOOL-BASED OUTREACH PROGRAM THAT USES EDUCATION AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TO HELP PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES AND TO REDUCE A CHILD'S LIFETIME RISK OF DEVELOPING CANCER. THE PROGRAM'S EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES ARE TO (A) EDUCATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN ABOUT CANCER AND DISPEL COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS, (B) EDUCATE ABOUT AND PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT CAN HELP CHILDREN REDUCE THEIR RISK OF CANCER IN ADULTHOOD, AND (C) INSPIRE AN INTEREST IN SCIENCE AND SCIENTIFIC CAREERS. IT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES OBESITY, NUTRITION, SMOKING, AND SUN EXPOSURE, IMPORTANT ISSUES IN PROMOTING CHILDHOOD HEALTH AND PRIMARY CANCER PREVENTION. THE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IS OVERSEEN BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM COMPOSED OF ST. JUDE FACULTY AND STAFF, LOCAL EDUCATORS, AND LOCAL HEALTH EXPERTS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THE CONTENT ACHIEVES THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM WHILE ALIGNING TO STATE AND NATIONAL EDUCATION STANDARDS.DURING THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR, THE SCHOOL OUTREACH TEAM WORKED WITH 21 EDUCATORS FROM 18 SCHOOLS AND 1 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION IN THE MEMPHIS AREA TO DELIVER THE PROGRAM TO OVER 1600 K-12 STUDENTS. OF THE 18 SCHOOLS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM, 6 WERE TITLE 1 SCHOOLS. OF THE 6 TITLE 1 SCHOOLS, 3 WERE IZONE SCHOOLS, WHICH ARE DEFINED AS SCHOOLS PERFORMING IN THE BOTTOM 5% OF SCHOOLS IN THE STATE AND RECEIVE FUNDS TO IMPROVE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.IN ADDITION, THE OUTREACH TEAM COLLABORATED WITH THE IZONE SCHOOL SCIENCE COACHES TO PROVIDE EXTRA SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OVER 50 SCIENCE TEACHERS AT IZONE SCHOOLS.

THESE ISSUES MAY BE ADDRESSED IN A FUTURE PLAN IF THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES, OR MAY BE ADDRESSED BY OTHER COMMUNITY PROVIDERS.ONE OF THE FOUR NATIONAL PEDIATRIC HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA, BUT NOT ADDRESSED IN THIS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, IS MENTAL HEALTH. ALTHOUGH IMPROVING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH EMERGED AS A NEED, IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE MISSION FOR ST. JUDE. THE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES FACING THE ST. JUDE COMMUNITY ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE FACING HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WHILE ST. JUDE DOES NOT PLAN TO ADDRESS THIS NEED IN THE COMMUNITY, ITS PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENTS OFFER INTERVENTIONS AND REFERRALS TO OUTSIDE RESOURCES AS NECESSARY, AND ARE DEVELOPING OTHERS TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE ST, JUDE PATIENT POPULATION.THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WILL BE ASSESSED ANNUALLY AND PROGRESS RECORDED. THE HOSPITAL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND THIS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AT ANY TIME AS CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT. COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS MAY EVOLVE, REQUIRING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DESCRIBED STRATEGIC INITIATIVES.
