ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE ST. JUDE FISCAL YEAR 2019 CHNA BUILDS UPON THE FISCAL YEAR 2013 AND 2016 CHNAS AND REFLECTS THE ACTIVITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE ST. JUDE FISCAL YEAR 2016 COMMUNITY BENEFIT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THE FISCAL YEAR 2019 CHNA WAS LED BY AN INTERNAL TEAM OF ST. JUDE STAFF MEMBERS. THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS TEAM ENGAGED HEALTH RESOURCES IN ACTION (HRIA), A NON-PROFIT PUBLIC HEALTH CONSULTANCY ORGANIZATION, TO CONDUCT THE CHNA. THE NEW CHNA IDENTIFIED THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO MEET THE HEALTH NEED AND MEDICAL NEEDS OF CHILDREN, INCLUDING THE SHELBY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE, AND BAPTIST MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE AND REGIONAL ONE HEALTH. EACH INSTITUTION IS WORKING TO ALIGN ITS ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING PROCESSES, WHEN APPROPRIATE, AND TO COORDINATE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO DATA COLLECTION.TO DEVELOP A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH PORTRAIT OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY ST. JUDE FOR THE GREATER MEMPHIS AREA AND NATIONALLY, HRIA REVIEWED EXISTING DATA DRAWN FROM LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SOURCES. TO GAIN MORE LOCAL-LEVEL DATA, ST. JUDE WORKED WITH THE SHELBY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO OBTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, AND HEALTH DATA FOR SHELBY COUNTY. HRIA CONDUCTED QUALITATIVE RESEARCH WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ST. JUDE STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL AS PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS SERVED IN ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT QUANTITATIVE FINDINGS WITH PERCEPTIONS OF COMMUNITY STRENGTHS AND ASSETS, THEIR PRIORITY HEALTH CONCERNS, AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES.FOCUS GROUPSFOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH CURRENT AND FORMER ST. JUDE PATIENTS, PATIENT CAREGIVERS, AND ST. JUDE CLINICAL, RESEARCH, AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. DIFFERENT TOPIC AREAS WERE EXPLORED BASED ON THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCES OF EACH OF THE GROUPS.

JUDE IS MEETING THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN WITH CATASTROPHIC ILLNESSES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO BRIDGE PATIENT NEEDS IN THE FUTURE. THE CLINICAL, RESEARCH, AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF FOCUS GROUPS EXPLORED THESE TOPICS AS WELL AS SPECIFIC ISSUES RELATED TO THE GREATER MEMPHIS COMMUNITY. A SEMI-STRUCTURED MODERATOR'S GUIDE WAS USED ACROSS ALL DISCUSSIONS TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY IN THE TOPICS COVERED. WHILE SIMILAR, SEPARATE GUIDES WERE USED FOR THE CAREGIVER AND PATIENT FOCUS GROUPS SO THAT THEY WERE AGE AND DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE.EACH FOCUS GROUP WAS FACILITATED BY AN EXPERIENCED HRIA STAFF MEMBER, WHILE A NOTE-TAKER TOOK DETAILED NOTES DURING THE DISCUSSION. ON AVERAGE, FOCUS GROUPS LASTED 30-90 MINUTES. BEFORE THE START OF THE GROUPS, HRIA EXPLAINED THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY TO PARTICIPANTS AND PARTICIPANTS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS. THEY WERE ALSO NOTIFIED VERBALLY THAT GROUP DISCUSSIONS WOULD REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL, AND NO RESPONSES WOULD BE CONNECTED TO THEM PERSONALLY. PARTICIPANTS WERE RECRUITED BY ST.

JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL, INC. CONDUCTED AND ADOPTED ITS THIRD COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) DURING FISCAL YEAR 2019 AND INTENDS TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT HEALTH NEEDS, LISTED IN ORDER OF PRIORITY:IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE:- PALLIATIVE CARE- SERVICES AND RESOURCES FOR CAREGIVERSIMPROVING COORDINATION OF CARE:- TRANSITION OF PATIENTS FROM PEDIATRIC TO ADULT HEALTHCARE- OUTPATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE - TRANSITION OF CARE FROM SPECIALTY TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS- OUTPATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE - PHYSICIAN COORDINATION OF CAREIMPROVING CHILD HEALTH STATUS:- COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION- PREVENTING VIRUS-ASSOCIATED CANCERS THROUGH INCREASED HPV VACCINATION- HIV COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY COALITION- CHILD KNOWLEDGE OF CANCER PREVENTION, NUTRITION, OBESITY AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITYTHE THIRD CHNA WAS CONDUCTED AND ADOPTED AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2019; THEREFORE, THESE HEALTH NEEDS WILL BE ADDRESSED OVER TAX YEARS 2019 THROUGH 2021.HEALTH NEEDS NOT BEING ADDRESSEDIN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED, ST. JUDE IS FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS OUTLINED ABOVE. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS TO BUILD TO MEET THE HEALTH AND MEDICAL NEEDS OF CHILDREN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE AND CHURCH HEALTH CENTER. ST. JUDE DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY OR RESOURCES TO MEET ALL NEEDS OF ALL CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, GIVEN ITS FOCUSED MISSION AND MODEL OF PROVIDING SPECIALIZED SERVICES TO CHILDREN IN CRISIS. STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, SUCH AS METHODIST LE BONHEUR HEALTHCARE, ALONG WITH PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS ALLOW ST. JUDE TO CREATE A NETWORK OF RESOURCES THAT THEY CAN LEVERAGE TO MEET THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF A WIDER COMMUNITY OF PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL, INC. DID TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2020 WITH RESPECT TO ITS MOST RECENT CHNA IN FISCAL YEAR 2019:ST. JUDE: PATIENT POPULATION AND CLINICAL FOCUSTHE 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 TREATS CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED OR SUSPECTED PEDIATRIC CANCER, HIV INFECTIONS OR CERTAIN HEMATOLOGIC OR GENETIC DISEASES. WE ACCEPT MOST PATIENTS OUTSIDE OUR PRIMARY MARKET BASED ON A REFERRAL FROM THEIR PHYSICIAN OR AN AFFILIATE CLINIC, THEIR AGE, AND THEIR ABILITY TO ENROLL IN AN OPEN CLINICAL TRIAL. IN ADDITION TO BEING TREATED AT ST. JUDE, PATIENTS MAY HAVE THE OPTION TO RECEIVE CARE AT ONE OF OUR EIGHT REGIONAL AFFILIATE CLINICS.ST. JUDE'S PRIMARY CLINICAL EFFORT CENTERS ON PROVIDING GROUND-BREAKING, RESEARCH-DRIVEN TREATMENTS FOR CHILDHOOD CANCERS AND OTHER CATASTROPHIC DISEASES IN CHILDREN. MORE SPECIFICALLY, APPROXIMATELY 8,000 PATIENTS ARE SEEN AT ST. JUDE ANNUALLY FOR ACTIVE THERAPY, TREATMENT COMPLETION MONITORING, SURVIVORSHIP SUPPORT OR PARTICIPATION IN RESEARCH PROGRAMS. THE HOSPITAL IS LICENSED FOR 80 INPATIENT BEDS AND CURRENTLY STAFFS 73 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 DESIGNED WITH INFECTION CONTROL MEASURES SUCH AS HEPA AIR FILTRATION, INFECTION-RESISTANT SURFACES AND OTHER MEDICAL SAFEGUARDS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN HOTELS OR PATIENTS' HOMES.THE ST. JUDE AFFILIATE PROGRAM MAKES TREATMENTS DEVELOPED AS CLINICAL TRIALS AT ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL AVAILABLE TO MORE CHILDREN BY OFFERING MUCH OF THE CARE CLOSE TO HOME. THE ST. JUDE AFFILIATE PROGRAM IS A NETWORK OF PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY CLINICS, HOSPITALS, AND IN SOME CASES, UNIVERSITIES UNITED TO EXTEND THE MISSION OF ST. JUDE. THE PHYSICIANS AND STAFF AT THESE SITES WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE STAFF OF ST. JUDE TO DELIVER STATE-OF-THE-ART CARE AND INNOVATIVE CLINICAL TRIALS TO CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS.ST. JUDE ALSO OPERATES ST. JUDE GLOBAL. ITS MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE SURVIVAL RATES OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND OTHER CATASTROPHIC DISEASES WORLDWIDE THROUGH THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE, TECHNOLOGY AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS. THERE ARE 3 OVERRIDING GOALS:- TO TRAIN THE CLINICAL WORKFORCE THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEET OUR MISSION- TO DEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN HEALTH SYSTEMS AND PATIENT-CENTERED INITIATIVES THAT ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE CONTINUUM OF CARE REQUIRED FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND NON-MALIGNANT HEMATOLOGICAL DISEASES- TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE IN GLOBAL PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY AND HEMATOLOGY THROUGH RESEARCH TO SUSTAIN A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN THE LEVEL AND QUALITY OF CARE DELIVERED AROUND THE GLOBEST. 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. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2019 CHNA AND THIS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, THE FOCUS IS SOLELY ON THOSE DISEASES FOR WHICH CHILDREN ARE ADMITTED TO ST. JUDE FOR TREATMENT.CONSISTENT WITH ST. JUDE'S PREVIOUS CHNA, THE FINDINGS IN 2019 HIGHLIGHTED THE ISSUES OF ACCESS TO CARE; CHILDHOOD CANCER; SICKLE CELL DISEASE AND HEMATOLOGY PATIENTS; LIVING WITH HIV AND AIDS; NEEDS OF THE PATIENTS' FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS; POST TREATMENT AND CARE TRANSITION; HEALTH STATUS OF THE MEMPHIS COMMUNITY AND ADDITIONAL GAPS FOR THE GENERAL PEDIATRIC POPULATION. ST. JUDE HAS CHOSEN TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS IN THREE GENERAL AIMS: IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE, IMPROVING COORDINATION OF CARE AND IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH STATUS. THESE AIMS OFTEN ADDRESS MULTIPLE ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA. GIVEN THE SUCCESS OF THE CURRENT ST.

Form and Line Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3C: NO FAMILY EVER PAYS ST. JUDE FOR TREATMENT. WE DO NOT NEED TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR THIS ASSISTANCE. BY DEFAULT, ALL PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES AT NO COST. ALL PATIENTS ACCEPTED FOR ST. JUDE TREATMENT RECEIVE CARE WHETHER OR NOT THEY OR THEIR FAMILIES CAN PAY FOR IT. ST. JUDE DOES HAVE A BILLING SYSTEM, BUT PATIENTS DO NOT RECEIVE BILLS. IF THE PATIENT HAS INSURANCE, ST. JUDE BILLS THE INSURANCE PLAN OR OTHER ORGANIZATION THAT PAYS HEALTH COSTS. BILLING INSURANCE FOR THE COSTS THAT WOULD BE DUE AT ANY OTHER HOSPITAL ALLOWS ST. JUDE TO CONTINUE DOING SOME OF THE MOST ADVANCED RESEARCH IN THE WORLD. IT ALSO ALLOWS ST. JUDE TO PAY FOR TREATMENTS, COPAYMENTS, DEDUCTIBLES, COINSURANCE, AND ANY OTHER COSTS INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER.TO ENSURE FAMILIES ARE MAKING USE OF ALL RESOURCES FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE, WE HAVE PROGRAMS TO ASSIST FAMILIES IN ENROLLING IN VARIOUS PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR WHICH THEY MAY QUALIFY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TENNCARE/MEDICAID, COVERKIDS, 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 ALSO CONTRACT WITH A VENDOR TO PROVIDE CERTIFIED APPLICATION COUNSELOR SERVICES TO ASSIST FAMILIES APPLYING FOR HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH FEDERAL OR STATE FACILITATED MARKETPLACES.

COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO USED FOR LINE 7A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT COST, LINE 7B MEDICAID, AND LINE 7C COSTS OF OTHER MEANS-TESTED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. SOME CHIPS VOLUME IS INCLUDED IN MEDICAID IN PART I, LINE 7B BECAUSE IN MANY STATES THE CHIPS PROGRAMS ARE MANAGED BY THE SAME THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATORS, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN CHIPS AND MEDICAID COVERAGE.
PART I, LINE 7G: ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL INCLUDED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES SUPPORT FOR EIGHT AFFILIATE CLINICS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $9.8 MILLION.

PART III, LINE 2: BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS EQUAL TO CHARGES ON ACCOUNTS DETERMINED TO BE UNCOLLECTIBLE. SEE NARRATIVE FOR PART 1, LINE 3C REGARDING 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 - UPON THE ADOPTION OF ASC 606, NET OPERATING REVENUES ARE RECORDED AT THE TRANSACTION PRICE ESTIMATED BY THE HOSPITAL TO REFLECT THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION DUE FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES IN PATIENT CARE. THESE SERVICES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A SINGLE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION AND HAVE A DURATION OF LESS THAN ONE YEAR. REVENUES ARE RECORDED AS THESE GOODS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED. THE TRANSACTION PRICE, WHICH INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES, IS DETERMINED BASED ON THE HOSPITAL'S STANDARD CHARGES FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES PROVIDED, WITH A REDUCTION RECORDED FOR PRICE CONCESSIONS RELATED TO THIRD PARTY CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS AS WELL AS OTHER IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, THE IMPACT OF CHANGES TO THE INPUTS USED TO DETERMINE THE TRANSACTION PRICE WAS CONSIDERED IMMATERIAL TO THE CURRENT PERIOD.IN 2019, PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE HAS BEEN REDUCED BY ADJUSTMENTS FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $1,100,000.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: ALL PATIENTS ACCEPTED FOR ST. JUDE TREATMENT RECEIVE CARE WHETHER OR NOT THEY OR THEIR FAMILIES CAN PAY FOR IT. ST. JUDE DOES HAVE A BILLING SYSTEM, BUT PATIENTS DO NOT RECEIVE BILLS. IF THE PATIENT HAS INSURANCE, ST. JUDE BILLS THE INSURANCE PLAN OR OTHER ORGANIZATION THAT PAYS HEALTH COSTS. THIS IS SET FORTH IN OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE STATEMENT (HTTPS://WWW.STJUDE.ORG/LEGAL/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-STATEMENT.HTML) AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (HTTPS://WWW.STJUDE.ORG/ LEGAL/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-POLICY.HTML).
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. CANCERPEDIATRIC CANCERS ARE RARE COMPARED TO ADULT CANCERS. ONLY 11,050 NEW CASES ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR AMONG CHILDREN 14 YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER IN 2020; HOWEVER, CANCER IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DISEASE-RELATED DEATH IN U.S. CHILDREN (FOOTNOTE 1). THE PRINCIPAL 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. AS THE FIRST AND ONLY NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE-DESIGNATED COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON CHILDREN, ST. JUDE SERVES AS A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR RESEARCH AND TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC CANCERS. OUR INITIATIVES ARE DESIGNED TO IMPACT PEDIATRIC CANCER TREATMENT ON A LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND GLOBAL SCALE.OUR CANCER PATIENTS COME FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD; HOWEVER, 66% OF THE NEW CANCER PATIENTS WE REGISTER RESIDE IN THE ST. JUDE CATCHMENT AREA, WHICH INCLUDES A 180-MILE RADIUS AROUND ST. JUDE LOCATED IN MEMPHIS, TN AND A 100-MILE RADIUS AROUND EACH OF OUR EIGHT AFFILIATES. THESE EIGHT AFFILIATES ARE LOCATED IN HUNTSVILLE, AL, CHARLOTTE, NC, JOHNSON CITY, TN, BATON ROUGE, LA, SHREVEPORT, LA, TULSA, OK, SPRINGFIELD, MO, AND PEORIA, IL. THE CATCHMENT POPULATION IS GENERALLY CHARACTERIZED BY A HIGHER PROPORTION OF NON-HISPANIC BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN RACE, LOWER PROPORTION OF HISPANIC ETHNICITY, LOWER HOUSEHOLD INCOMES AND HOME VALUES, AND LOWER PROPORTION WITH AN EDUCATION BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL. APPROXIMATELY 4.9% OF THE POPULATION LIVE IN RURAL AREAS (BY RUCA CODE 10). TAKEN TOGETHER, THIS DIVERSE POPULATION INCLUDES MANY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES WHO ARE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED. THROUGH ST. JUDE'S FOUNDING POLICY - THAT NO PATIENT BE DENIED TREATMENT BASED ON RACE, ETHNICITY, RELIGION, OR A FAMILY'S INABILITY TO PAY - AND WITH THE PROVISION OF RESOURCES TO OFFSET THE COSTS OF TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING DURING CLINIC VISITS AND TREATMENT, WE REMOVE BARRIERS IN ACCESS TO OUR CUTTING-EDGE CLINICAL RESEARCH TRIALS AND EXCEPTIONAL CLINICAL CARE. ALL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA ARE ACCEPTED TO ST. JUDE FOR TREATMENT OF THEIR CANCER.THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE PEDIATRIC CANCER POPULATION TREATED AT ST. JUDE CLOSELY MATCH THOSE OF OUR CATCHMENT AREA (BASED ON 2010 DATA FROM THE US CENSUS BUREAU) AND ALIGN WITH THE ESTIMATED INCIDENCE OF PEDIATRIC CANCER IN REPRESENTED RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS (BASED ON SURVEILLANCE EPIDEMIOLOGY AND END RESULTS [SEER] 2009 DATA), CONFIRMING THAT ST. JUDE IS CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION IT SERVES. DEMOGRAPHICS FROM THE ST. JUDE PEDIATRIC CANCER COHORT ARE COMPARED WITH THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE CATCHMENT AREA ANNUALLY TO MONITOR DEMOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF OUR CANCER PATIENTS IN RELATION TO THE AREA THAT WE SERVE.THERE ARE NO KNOWN DIFFERENCES IN PEDIATRIC CANCER INCIDENCE BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION IN THE U.S. CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CATER OUR CLINICAL TRIALS TO TARGET PEDIATRIC CANCERS SPECIFICALLY PREVALENT IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA. WHILE NUMEROUS ADULT CANCERS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE HIGH VARIATION IN INCIDENCE RATES ACROSS RACES AND ETHNICITIES, THE SITUATION IS LESS CLEAR IN PEDIATRIC CANCER, WHERE FEWER DISCREPANCIES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. ALTHOUGH OUR CATCHMENT AREA HAS A HIGHER PROPORTION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PATIENTS THAN THE GENERAL U.S. POPULATION, THERE ARE VERY FEW EXAMPLES OF PEDIATRIC CANCERS IN WHICH THE INCIDENCE IS HIGHER IN RACIAL AND/OR ETHNIC MINORITIES (FOOTNOTES 2 AND 3). CONSEQUENTLY OUR RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS ADDRESS THE MOST PRESSING PROBLEMS IN PEDIATRIC CANCER. ST. JUDE OFFERS THERAPEUTIC TRIALS FOR THE TOP PEDIATRIC CANCERS (FOOTNOTE 1) INCLUDING ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA, MEDULLOBLASTOMA, NEUROBLASTOMA, HODGKIN LYMPHOMA, RETINOBLASTOMA, RHABDOMYOSARCOMA AND OTHERS. MANY OF THESE TRIALS ARE INSTITUTIONALLY SPONSORED; HOWEVER, ST. JUDE ALSO PARTICIPATES IN SEVERAL 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.A KEY AREA THAT ST. JUDE IS PROMOTING IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA AND BEYOND IS PREVENTION OF HPV-RELATED CANCERS. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND OTHER NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE PUT FORTH THE GOAL TO ERADICATE HPV-RELATED CANCERS THROUGH HPV VACCINATION AND TIMELY EARLY DETECTION EFFORTS. NEARLY 80 MILLION INDIVIDUALS IN THE U.S. - 1 OUT OF EVERY 4 PEOPLE - ARE INFECTED WITH HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV). APPROXIMATELY 35,000 CANCERS ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO HPV OCCUR EACH YEAR (FOOTNOTE 4). U.S. VACCINATION RATES REMAIN SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER FOR HPV THAN FOR OTHER RECOMMENDED ADOLESCENT VACCINES. ACCORDING TO 2019 DATA FROM THE CDC, 90% OF 13-17 YEAR OLDS HAVE BEEN VACCINATED WITH TDAP AND 89% HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE DOSE OF MENINGOCOCCAL CONJUGATE COMPARED TO ONLY 54% UP-TO-DATE WITH HPV VACCINATION (HAVE RECEIVED ALL DOSES IN THE SERIES). BY SEX, 57% OF GIRLS AND APPROXIMATELY 52% OF BOYS AGED 13-17 ARE UP-TO-DATE ON THE HPV VACCINE SERIES (FOOTNOTE 5). IN 2019, TENNESSEE'S COMBINED HPV VACCINATION COVERAGE (UP-TO-DATE) FOR MALES AND FEMALES AGED 13-17 IS ONLY 43%, WHICH RANKS NEAR THE BOTTOM IN THE NATION. SIMILAR TRENDS IN LOW HPV VACCINATION UPTAKE ARE OBSERVED IN OTHER STATES INCLUDED IN THE ST. JUDE CATCHMENT AREA OF THE MID-SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST RANGING FROM THE HIGHEST UP-TO-DATE RATES OF HPV VACCINATION IN LOUISIANA (60%) TO THE LOWEST IN OKLAHOMA (42%) WITH THE MEAN AND MEDIAN RATE OF 50%. RESIDENTS OF TENNESSEE AND THE MID-SOUTH AND SOUTHEASTERN U.S. HAVE AMONG THE HIGHEST INCIDENCE OF HPV-RELATED CANCERS IN THE COUNTRY (FOOTNOTE 4). AS THE ONLY NCI-DESIGNATED CANCER CENTER DEVOTED SOLELY TO CHILDREN, ST. JUDE IS COMMITTED TO TAKING ON A NEW LEADERSHIP ROLE IN PROTECTING YOUNG PEOPLE FROM PREVENTABLE HPV-ASSOCIATED CANCERS LATER IN LIFE. RECENTLY, ST. JUDE LAUNCHED HPV AWARENESS EFFORTS INCLUDING EDUCATION AT LOCAL SCHOOLS, OUTREACH TO NEWS MEDIA, DEVELOPMENT OF WEB CONTENT, AND PARTNERING WITH OTHER NCI-DESIGNATED CANCER CENTERS TO ENDORSE A GOAL OF ELIMINATING HPV-ASSOCIATED CANCERS IN THE UNITED STATES. OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS, OUR PLAN IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND OUR EFFORTS TO HAVE A GREATER IMPACT IN THE PROMOTION OF HPV VACCINATION IN OUR LOCAL CATCHMENT AREA, IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, AND NATIONALLY.(NOTE: THIS NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 2 IS CONTINUED BELOW.) - SEE PAGE 105/140
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 UNPARALLELED 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, COVERKIDS, CHIPS AND SOCIAL SECURITY. FAMILIES ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO AN ONLINE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE TITLED "YOU AND THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT" (HTTPS://WWW.STJUDE.ORG/TREATMENT/PATIENT-RESOURCES/CAREGIVER-RESOURCES/PATIENT-FAMILY-EDUCATION-SHEETS/LEGAL-FINANCIAL/YOU-AND-THE-AFFORDABLE-CARE-ACT.HTML). THIS 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 STATEMENT (HTTPS://WWW.STJUDE.ORG/LEGAL/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-STATEMENT.HTML) AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (HTTPS://WWW.STJUDE.ORG/LEGAL/FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE-POLICY.HTML) ARE POSTED ON THE HOSPITAL'S WEBSITE AND AVAILABLE AT REGISTRATION. THE DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. FOR FAMILIES SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGES, WE UTILIZE ONSITE INTERPRETER SERVICES AND/OR PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTED INTERPRETATION AND TRANSLATION SERVICES.
PART VI, LINE 4: ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL IN MEMPHIS, TN, IS A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL THAT TREATS PEDIATRIC CATASTROPHIC DISEASES WITH A FOCUS ON CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS. PATIENTS AT ST. JUDE ARE REFERRED BY A PHYSICIAN, DIAGNOSED WITH A DISEASE CURRENTLY UNDER STUDY, AND ELIGIBLE FOR A RESEARCH PROTOCOL. ST. JUDE IS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC RESEARCH CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH CATASTROPHIC DISEASES, INCLUDING CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS, WHERE FAMILIES NEVER PAY FOR TREATMENT NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. IN FACT, NO FAMILY EVER PAYS ST. JUDE FOR ANYTHING. TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING AND FOOD ARE AMONG THE NO-COST SERVICES PROVIDED TO ENSURE FAMILIES COMING TO ST. JUDE CAN FOCUS ON THEIR CHILD. NO CHILD IS EVER DENIED TREATMENT DUE TO RACE, SEX, NATIONALITY, ETHNICITY, RELIGION, OR THE FAMILY'S ABILITY TO PAY.THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY ST. JUDE CAN BEST BE DEFINED BY UNDERSTANDING ST. JUDE'S PATIENT POPULATION AND SCOPE OF CLINICAL SERVICES. ST. JUDE SERVES AS A NATIONAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH CATASTROPHIC DISEASES, SUCH AS CANCER AS WELL AS A LOCAL REFERRAL CENTER FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER, BLOOD DISORDERS, AND HIV/AIDS. IT DOES NOT ADMIT CHILDREN FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC GROUPS OUTSIDE OF THESE SERVICES AND DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL SERVICES BEYOND THOSE NECESSARY TO CARE FOR CHILDREN WITH THESE DISEASES. ST. JUDE DOES NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY ROOM (ER). A REFERRAL FROM A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL EXTERNAL TO ST. JUDE, TYPICALLY THE CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN OR A PEDIATRIC SUBSPECIALIST, IS NECESSARY PRIOR TO ACCEPTING A PATIENT FOR TREATMENT TO ST. JUDE.ST. JUDE'S PRIMARY CLINICAL EFFORT CENTERS ON PROVIDING GROUND-BREAKING, RESEARCH-DRIVEN TREATMENTS. SPECIFICALLY, MORE THAN 8,600 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 HAS 73 OPERATIONAL 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 WOULD BE ADMITTED INTO INPATIENT UNITS AT MOST HOSPITALS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PATIENT HOUSING DEDICATED SOLELY TO ST. JUDE PATIENT FAMILIES DESIGNED WITH INFECTION CONTROL MEASURES SUCH AS HEPA FILTRATION, INFECTION-RESISTANT SURFACES AND OTHER MEDICAL SAFEGUARDS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN HOTELS OR PATIENTS' HOMES.ST. JUDE HAS A NETWORK OF EIGHT 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.ST. JUDE ALSO OPERATES THE ST. JUDE GLOBAL INITIATIVE THROUGH GLOBAL PEDIATRIC MEDICINE (GPM), 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. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN 400,000 CHILDREN WORLDWIDE DEVELOP CANCER EACH YEAR - NEARLY HALF OF WHOM ARE NEVER DIAGNOSED. APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THESE CHILDREN WITH CANCER LIVE 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. AS A RESULT 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, ST. JUDE GLOBAL DEVELOPS PARTNERSHIPS WITH MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS AND FUND-RAISING ORGANIZATIONS AND FACILITATES THE INVOLVEMENT OF GOVERNMENT AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT KEY PROGRAMS AND THE EDUCATION OF LOCAL PERSONNEL. AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL, ST. JUDE GLOBAL DEVELOPS PROGRAMS THROUGH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND FOSTERS REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER PEDIATRIC MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH THE ST. JUDE GLOBAL ALLIANCE. 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.THE ST. JUDE GLOBAL ALLIANCE IS A GLOBAL NETWORK ESTABLISHED TO PURSUE THE SHARED VISION OF IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY AND INCREASING SURVIVAL RATES OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS WORLDWIDE. CURRENTLY, THE ALLIANCE HAS RECEIVED APPLICATIONS FROM 136 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN 55 COUNTRIES AND ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIPS WITH 75 OF THE MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN 45 COUNTRIES. MEMBERS OF THE ALLIANCE ARE A PART OF A GLOBAL COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO TRANSFORMING GLOBAL CHILD HEALTH. THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP GLOBAL PROJECTS AND STUDIES, CONNECT WITH COMMITTEES AND WORKING GROUPS AT THE REGIONAL AND GLOBAL LEVEL, AND ENGAGE WITH ST. JUDE FACULTY AND STAFF FOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT. ALLIANCE MEMBER INSTITUTIONS IN THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM ST. JUDE FOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION - BRAZIL, CHILE, CHINA, COSTA RICA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HAITI, HONDURAS, JORDAN, LEBANON, MEXICO, MOZAMBIQUE, NICARAGUA, PHILIPPINES, URUGUAY, VENEZUELA, AND ZAMBIA.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 AND TRAINING ARE PROVIDED VIA ST. JUDE'S WEB-BASED PLATFORM, ST. JUDE CURE4KIDSTM (C4K), A FREE RESOURCE FOR PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY PROFESSIONALS, SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR AFFILIATION WITH ST. JUDE OR ITS PARTNERS. IN ADDITION TO CONTENT THAT INCLUDES MORE THAN 1,678 ONLINE SEMINARS, 19 SELF-PACED COURSES, AND 52 INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSES, C4K PROVIDES ONLINE MEETING AND CONFERENCE SPACE. IN FY20, C4K HAD 28,824 CONTENT VIEWS WITH 5,118 UNIQUE REGISTERED USERS, AND HOSTED 1,644 MEETINGS WITH 1,662 UNIQUE PARTICIPANTS FROM 156 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES; THERE ARE 65 NCI CENTERS THAT PARTICIPATE IN C4K. 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 ALSO A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, WITH RESEARCH COVERING A BROADER SCOPE OF HEALTH ISSUES THAN THE DISEASES TREATED AS A PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS.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 22% OF NEW ONCOLOGY PATIENTS RESIDING WITHIN THIS AREA.FY20 NEW CANCER PATIENTSPATIENT ORIGIN % OF TOTAL MEMPHIS, TN AND SURROUNDING AREA 22% AFFILIATE REFERRAL 42%NATIONAL REFERRAL (OTHER AREAS OF U.S.) 28%INTERNATIONAL REFERRAL 8%GRAND TOTAL 100% (NOTE: THIS NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 4 IS CONTINUED BELOW.) - SEE PAGE 113/140
PART VI, LINE 5: ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL WAS OPENED IN 1962. 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, DANNY THOMAS, NO CHILD IS DENIED TREATMENT BASED ON RACE, RELIGION OR A FAMILY'S INABILITY 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 HEALTH CARE AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, WE SEEK TO CURE AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR AN INCREASING NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO COME TO US FOR TREATMENT BY EXPANDING AND SHARING KNOWLEDGE TO ADVANCE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CATASTROPHIC DISEASES WORLDWIDE, 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. THE FOCUS IS ON PROVIDING OUTSTANDING PATIENT CARE RESULTS AND ON RESEARCH FINDINGS THAT TRANSLATE INTO IMPROVED PATIENT OUTCOMES. 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, MOST OF WHICH ARE NEITHER EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. 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 LOCAL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS 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 WITH 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 (PCGP) 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 GROUNDBREAKING DISCOVERIES IN A NUMBER OF CHILDHOOD CANCERS INCLUDING RETINOBLASTOMA, MEDULLOBLASTOMA, NEUROBLASTOMA, DIFFUSE INTRINSIC PONTINE GLIOMA, TWO AGGRESSIVE FORMS OF LEUKEMIA AND LOW-GRADE GLIOMAS. IN DECEMBER 2012, THE PCGP 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 SECOND PHASE OF PCGP EXAMINED THE CANCER SAMPLES FROM 300 CHILDREN AND FOCUSED ON DEFINING MUTATIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO TUMOR FORMATION, CHARACTERIZING THE STATE OF THE CANCER CELL'S EPIGENOME AND DESCRIBING HOW IT DIFFERED FROM WHAT IS SEEN IN THE NORMAL CELLS. THE SECOND PHASE ALSO INCLUDED A CLINICAL GENOMICS PROJECT CALLED GENOMES FOR KIDS THAT INVOLVED NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER. 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 HAS SEQUENCED MORE THAN 800 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 CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVORS 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 USES 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 THAT 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. 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.ST. JUDE IS HOME TO THE ONLY PROTON BEAM RADIATION THERAPY CENTER DEVOTED SOLELY TO TREATING CHILDREN WITH BRAIN TUMORS AND SEVERAL OTHER CHILDHOOD CANCERS. PROTON THERAPY IS LESS DAMAGING TO SURROUNDING HEALTHY TISSUE THAN OTHER CURRENT RADIATION THERAPIES. THIS EQUIPMENT ENABLES 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.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.

PART VI, LINE 2 (CONTINUATION FROM PAGE 94/140) 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 100,000 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 IN OUR CATCHMENT AREA TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE CARE SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, ST. JUDE PROVIDES TRAIT COUNSELING SERVICE TO 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. 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. IN THE PAST, THE SCD PROGRAM AT ST. JUDE HAS COLLABORATED 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, INTERACTIVE EDUCATION, MATERIALS REVIEW, AND GROUP DISCUSSIONS WITH PARENTS AND PATIENTS. ST. JUDE HAS AN ANNUAL SICKLE CELL EDUCATION DAY FOR PATIENTS WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE AND THEIR FAMILIES/CAREGIVERS. MORE THAN 250 ATTEND THIS EVENT EVERY YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, ST. JUDE COLLABORATES WITH NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND PEOPLE WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE TO INCREASE SICKLE CELL AWARENESS. ST. JUDE PROVIDES FREE EDUCATIONAL BOOKLETS AND BROCHURES (HARD COPY REQUEST OR DOWNLOAD) ON THE HEMATOLOGY WEBSITE AS WELL AS INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS. PEOPLE FROM THROUGHOUT THE US AND OTHER COUNTRIES UTILIZE THE EDUCATIONAL WEBSITE. ST. JUDE PARTICIPATES IN NUMEROUS HEALTH FAIRS, SCHOOL PROGRAMS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS OF HEMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE PATIENTS AND THE COMMUNITY.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. 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.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. ADDITIONALLY, ST. JUDE HAS DEVELOPED A VECTOR FOR GENE TRANSFER TO TREAT CHILDREN WITH X LINKED SEVERE COMBINED IMMUNODEFICIENCY (X LINKED SCID) DISEASE WHICH HAS SHOWN PROMISE AS A CURE FOR THE DISEASE. 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 CONNECT TO PROTECT (C2P) COMMUNITY COALITION LED BY MEMBERS OF THE HOSPITAL'S COMPREHENSIVE HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH, HAS SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE STRONG COMMUNITY TIES THAT ST. JUDE HAS ESTABLISHED AND STRENGTHENED. LAUNCHED IN 2008, C2P IS MADE UP OF 25 PARTNER AGENCIES REPRESENTING A DIVERSE MIX OF STAKEHOLDERS FROM VARIOUS SECTORS IN MEMPHIS. THIS INCLUDES THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, FAITH- AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, YOUTH AND HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS; ALL ALIGNED WITH THE COMMON GOAL OF OPTIMIZING HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT. THE STRENGTH OF THIS COALITION HAS BEEN TO PROVIDE A NON-THREATENING, COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE INDIVIDUALS AND AGENCIES WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND PRIORITIES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COLLABORATIVELY IMPLEMENT OVER 70 NEW POLICIES, PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS THAT IMPACT HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT IN YOUTH. IN THIS COALITION WE HAVE LEARNED AND SHARED BEST PRACTICES, AND TOGETHER, IDENTIFIED AND DEVELOPED NEW STRUCTURAL CHANGE OBJECTIVES TO ADDRESS IMPEDIMENTS THAT PREVENT YOUTH FROM MOVING ALONG THE HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT CARE CONTINUUM.HAVING ACCESS TO, AND COMMITMENT FROM, SUCH A DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS HAS ALLOWED FOR SHARED RESPONSIBILITY IN TRANSFORMING THE HEALTH TRAJECTORY OF THE CITY. THE COALITION DESIGNED A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES YOUTH BARRIERS TO TESTING, TRANSITIONING TO ADULT CARE, PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS AND LINKAGE OF NEWLY DIAGNOSED HIV+ YOUTH TO MEDICAL CARE. AS BARRIERS ARE IDENTIFIED, MEMBERS ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSIONS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS, AND STRATEGIZE FOR POLICY AND PRACTICE CHANGES RELATED TO COMMONLY IDENTIFIED OBSTACLES SUCH AS DISCLOSURE, TIMELINES OF CONFIRMATORY TEST, MEDICATION/APPOINTMENT, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS AND ADHERENCE. SINCE IMPLEMENTING THE STRATEGIC MULTISITE INITIATIVE FOR LINKAGE AND ENGAGEMENT (SMILE) LINKAGE TO CARE PROGRAM IN 2010, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ASSIST APPROXIMATELY 1,120 YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH GETTING INTO MEDICAL CARE. THIS FISCAL YEAR, OF THE 120 REFERRED TO CARE, 75% HAVE BEEN RETAINED IN CARE AND EXPECTED TO ACHIEVE VIRAL SUPPRESSION. THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM GARNERED NATIONAL ATTENTION AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AS A BEST PRACTICE MODEL. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE SHELBY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND LE BONHEUR COMMUNITY HIV NETWORK TO REPLICATE AND EXPAND OUR MODEL OF LINKAGE TO CARE AND TREATMENT BY APPLYING FOR GRANT SUPPORT TO HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF. THIS HAS ALLOWED OUR PROGRAM TO ASSIST OTHER AGENCIES WITH HELPING TO LINK NEWLY DIAGNOSED YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS INTO CARE AND ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCING THE HIV COMMUNITY VIRAL LOAD.IN AN EFFORT TO FURTHER SUPPORT THOSE PATIENTS THAT MATRICULATE ALONG THE HIV CARE CONTINUUM, WE INSTITUTED A RETENTION IN CARE (RIC) PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SUPPORT TO YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT PATIENTS WHO FIND MAINTAINING CONSISTENT MEDICAL TREATMENT AND CARE, A CHALLENGE. SINCE 2016, THE RIC COORDINATOR HAS CAREFULLY AND CONSIDERATELY WORKED TO ASSURE THAT APPROXIMATELY 40 PATIENTS ARE AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE WITH TRANSITIONING TO ADULT MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT GAPS OR DELAYS.
OUR ABILITY TO FORGE STRONG PARTNERSHIPS AND INROADS IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS HAS ALSO ASSISTED US WITH OUR NEWEST RESEARCH INITIATIVE, INJECTABLE PREP (PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS) OR HPTN (HIV PREVENTION TRIALS NETWORK) 083. SINCE 2017, WE HAVE PRE-SCREENED APPROXIMATELY 150 ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS AND ENROLLED ONTO STUDY 94 UNINFECTED HIGH-RISK YOUNG ADULT VOLUNTEERS TO DETERMINE THE EFFICACY OF USING BIOMEDICAL PREVENTION IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WERE THE TOP RECRUITING SITE FOR THIS STUDY AND MET OUR TWO-YEAR RECRUITMENT GOAL (64) IN THE FIRST YEAR.IN ADDITION, FOR OVER TWO YEARS, C2P MEMBERS ALONGSIDE THE ST. JUDE COORDINATING CENTER STAFF, HAS BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY WORKING ON AN ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC IN MEMPHIS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WAS RECENTLY FUNDED (SEPTEMBER 2019) BY THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL TO ACCELERATE STATE AND LOCAL PLANNING EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE ZERO NEW HIV INFECTIONS BY THE YEAR 2030. THIS HAS LED TO MORE INTENTIONAL ENGAGEMENT OF NEW STAKEHOLDERS, GRASS ROOTS ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER GATEKEEPERS TO HELP FORTIFY AND BUILD OUT THE ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES. SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2019, C2P HAS MANAGED TO HOST AND PARTICIPATE IN OVER 35 STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AND GET BUY-IN AND SUPPORT FROM 20 NEW PARTNER REPRESENTATIVES FROM 13 DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS TO CONTINUE TO ENRICH THE EHE MEMPHIS PLANNING COALITION. SINCE APRIL OF 2020, MANY OF THESE MEETINGS (11) HAVE HAD TO MOVE TO A VIRTUAL PLATFORM AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WE CREATED A VIRTUAL CHALK TALK WEEKLY SERIES AS A WAY TO KEEP COMMUNITY PARTNER ENGAGEMENT STRONG AND VIABLE AND HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 450 ATTENDEES TO DATE. THIS VIRTUAL PLATFORM HAS ALLOWED US TO HIGHLIGHT THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SWIFT ADJUSTMENTS THAT MANY OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS HAVE HAD TO ADOPT, AS WELL AS, CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE PARTNERS TO COMPLETE ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC MEMPHIS PLANS.LASTLY, MEMBERS OF THE HIV PREVENTION PROGRAM HAVE CO-FACILITATED AND/OR PARTICIPATED IN APPROXIMATELY 64 COMMUNITY BASED EDUCATIONAL AND TESTING EVENTS (FACE TO FACE/VIRTUAL), CONFERENCES AND RADIO/TELEVISION INTERVIEWS THAT HAVE IMPACTED WELL OVER 6,100 INDIVIDUALS IN MEMPHIS AND SURROUNDING AREAS. WE RECOGNIZE THE STRENGTH AND VALUE OF OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND THAT MEMBERS ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUE CROSS-AGENCY COLLABORATION. OUR GOALS ARE TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE MILESTONES AND IMPLEMENT NEW POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS.HOWEVER, OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN CHALLENGED SINCE COVID-19 HAS CAUSED IN-PERSON MOBILIZATION ACTIVITIES (CONFERENCES, SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS, ETC.) TO CEASE AS A RESULT OF SHELTERING IN PLACE. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED AS MANY CARE AND TREATMENT MODALITIES AS WE CAN USING THE TELEPHONE, EMAIL AND TEXT MESSAGING. STILL, SOME INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE REACHED AS THIS CRISIS HAS UNCOVERED A DIGITAL DIVIDE. AS COVID-19 CASES CONTINUE TO RISE IN OUR COMMUNITY, WE WILL IMPLEMENT THE USE OF MORE VIRTUAL PLATFORMS AS A MEANS OF CREATING COMMUNITY TOUCH POINTS. WE WILL SCALE UP THE USE OF PHONE AND EMAIL TO ENSURE PATIENT LINKAGE AND ENGAGEMENT IN CARE AND HOPE TO GARNER ASSISTANCE FROM RESOURCE COMMODITY CENTERS TO PARTNER TO REACH THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO DIGITAL PLATFORMS.OUR HIV PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM HAS REALLY VALUED THE STRONG AND BI-DIRECTIONAL COLLABORATION WITH COLLEAGUES IN THE COMMUNITY. WITH A SHARED FOCUS, WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE WITH OUR LINKAGE TO CARE, RETENTION IN CARE AND PREP EFFORTS, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FEASIBLE WITHOUT COMMUNITY AGENCY BUY-IN AND SUPPORT.1.

PART VI, LINE 4 (CONTINUATION FROM PAGE 100/140) THE ST. JUDE AFFILIATE PROGRAM (AP) IS A NETWORK OF EIGHT AFFILIATED PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY CLINICS IN THE U.S., ALLOWS ST. JUDE PATIENTS TO BE TREATED CLOSER TO HOME AND TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT 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, HUNTSVILLE, AL, JOHNSON CITY, TN, PEORIA, IL, SHREVEPORT, LA, SPRINGFIELD, MO, AND TULSA, OK. 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 2,600 NATIONAL AND NEARLY 1,100 INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIAN REQUESTS.

PART VI, LINE 5 (CONTINUATION FROM PAGE 105/140) IN OCTOBER 2019, ST. JUDE INVESTIGATORS PUBLISHED A PAPER IN THE JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY DETAILING HOW THEY REDUCED RELAPSE IN PEDIATRIC ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ALL) PATIENTS BY ADDING DOSES OF CHEMOTHERAPY IN THE CEREBROSPINAL FLUID EARLIER IN TREATMENT. THE RESEARCHERS REPORTED THAT THE APPROACH IMPROVED CNS CONTROL WITHOUT ADDING TOXICITY.ALSO THIS YEAR, THE ST. JUDE PEDIATRIC TRANSLATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE INITIATIVE STARTED TO TAKE SHAPE. THIS INSTITUTION-WIDE EFFORT AIMS TO TRANSFORM UNDERSTANDING AND TREATMENT OF DEVASTING CHILDHOOD NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS. DR. RICHARD S. FINKEL JOINED ST. JUDE TO HEAD THE CLINICAL CENTERPIECE, THE CENTER FOR EXPERIMENTAL NEUROTHERAPEUTICS. ON THE RESEARCH SIDE, DR. PETER MCKINNON IS LEADING THE NEW CENTER FOR PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE RESEARCH. THIS MARKS AN EXPANSION OF THE INSTITUTION'S FOCUS TO ENCOMPASS PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES AND A NEW PROGRAM TO HELP CHILDREN AFFECTED BY THEM.ST. JUDE CONTINUED ITS GENE THERAPY TREATMENT CLINICAL TRIAL THAT HAS CURED BABIES WITH X-LINKED SEVERE COMBINED IMMUNODEFICIENCY (SCID-X1). SCIENTISTS HOPE THE NOVEL COMBINATION THERAPY WILL LEAD TO CURES FOR SICKLE CELL DISEASE AND OTHER BLOOD DISORDERS. SCID-X1 IS SOMETIMES CALLED "BUBBLE BOY" DISEASE BECAUSE PATIENTS ARE USUALLY BOYS. THEY ARE BORN WITHOUT GOOD DISEASE-FIGHTING IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND NEED PROTECTION FROM THE WORLD. A MUTATION IN A SINGLE GENE STOPS PEOPLE WITH SCID-X1 FROM MAKING IMMUNE CELLS THAT WORK. A TEAM LED BY THE LATE BRIAN SORRENTINO, MD, OF ST. JUDE DESIGNED A VECTOR TO CARRY A CORRECT COPY OF THE GENE INTO BLOOD-PRODUCING CELLS. THE VECTOR INCLUDED SAFETY FEATURES THAT PROTECT AGAINST TREATMENT-RELATED SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING LEUKEMIA. THE FIRST EIGHT SCID-X1 BABIES TREATED WITH THE ST. JUDE GENE THERAPY ARE ALL GROWING NORMALLY. THEY ARE NOW MAKING COMPLETE SETS OF IMMUNE CELLS FOR THE FIRST TIME. NONE HAVE DEVELOPED SERIOUS INFECTIONS.OTHER PROGRAMS BEGUN DURING THIS YEAR INCLUDE A NEW ACUTE CARE CLINIC FOR ESTABLISHED PATIENTS, A PILOT FOR HOME HEALTH SERVICES DURING THE PANDEMIC, TRAINING MORE THAN 160 PROVIDERS ON TELEMEDICINE AND INCREASING TELEMEDICINE OPTIONS FOR PATIENTS, AND PUBLISHING THE TOGETHER WEBSITE PATIENT EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE INTO OTHER LANGUAGES INCLUDING SPANISH, ARABIC, AND CHINESE.WITH THE EMERGENCE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN MARCH 2020, ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL MOVED QUICKLY TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR EMPLOYEES, FAMILIES, AND THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY - OUR PATIENTS.ST. JUDE FACULTY AND STAFF WORKED TOGETHER TO CREATE A SAFE HARBOR AGAINST COVID-19. PROTECTION MEASURES INCLUDE A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND COVID-19 TESTING PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, CAMPUS ZONING, REDUCED PERSONNEL AND VISITOR ACCESS, AND HEIGHTENED INFECTION-CONTROL PROCEDURES.BEFORE MANY AREAS IN THE COUNTRY WERE ABLE TO TEST FOR COVID-19, ST. JUDE CREATED ITS OWN CLINICAL TESTING PROGRAM FOR PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND STAFF. EACH DAY, HUNDREDS OF EMPLOYEES RANDOMLY SELECTED FOR SCREENING ENTER THE MARLO THOMAS CENTER AUDITORIUM, SIT DOWN AT TESTING STATIONS AND HAVE THEIR NOSES SWABBED FOR EVIDENCE OF THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS. MEANWHILE, PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES UNDERGO TESTING IN ANOTHER PART OF THE HOSPITAL. NURSES PLACE THE SWABS INTO VIALS WITH TRANSPORT MEDIA THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCED AND PACKAGED AT THE CHILDREN'S GMP, LLC, A FACILITY LOCATED ON THE ST. JUDE CAMPUS. THE VIALS ARE THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL'S CLINICAL COVID-19 TESTING LAB, WHERE PATHOLOGISTS TEST BETWEEN 5,000 AND 6,000 SAMPLES PER WEEK.MEANWHILE, IN THE HOSPITAL, WORKERS EMPLOY MANY TACTICS TO CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING USING UV LIGHT TO STERILIZE AND KILL MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTS.TO FURTHER REDUCE THE INFECTION RISK, ST. JUDE HAS DRASTICALLY CURTAILED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING ONTO CAMPUS. WE HAVE TAKEN STEPS TO HAVE FEWER PATIENTS ON CAMPUS, AND WE HAVE LIMITED THE NUMBER OF CAREGIVERS, VISITORS AND SIBLINGS ALLOWED IN THE HOSPITAL AND OUR HOUSING FACILITIES. WE ARE HELPING PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AVOID TRAVEL DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN IT'S SAFE TO DO SO AND MANAGING THE CARE OF EACH PATIENT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. SOME PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO GET CARE AT ONE OF THE NINE ST. JUDE AFFILIATE CLINICS, FOR EXAMPLE. MANY CHILDREN STAYING IN ST. JUDE HOUSING FACILITIES IN MEMPHIS NO LONGER NEED TO TRAVEL TO CAMPUS FOR ROUTINE BLOODWORK OR CENTRAL-LINE CARE. INSTEAD, THE CARE COMES TO THEM, THANKS TO ST. JUDE NURSES WHO VISIT PATIENTS' ROOMS AND APARTMENTS. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF PATIENTS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS SAY THEY LIKE THE CONVENIENCE OF RECEIVING CARE IN HOUSING.CANCER NEVER SLEEPS, SO RESEARCHERS AT ST. JUDE CONTINUE THEIR WORK WHILE ADHERING TO NEW GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICAL DISTANCING, DISINFECTION AND THE USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN ZONED SO THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AND RESEARCH EMPLOYEES DO NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND CLINICAL EMPLOYEES. THIS IS ONE MORE LAYER OF PROTECTION FOR THE CHILDREN IN OUR CARE.IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC, THE DEDICATED SCIENTISTS AT ST. JUDE CONTINUE TO TRAVEL THEIR PATH OF INNOVATION, MAKING DISCOVERIES AND SHARING THEIR FINDINGS WITH THE WORLD. IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, FOR INSTANCE, OUR RESEARCHERS HAVE DEVELOPED SOFTWARE TO IDENTIFY CANCER-CAUSING MUTATIONS LURKING IN VAST REGIONS OF THE HUMAN GENOME. THEY PREMIERED A DATA PORTAL THAT WILL SPEED DISCOVERIES AND NOVEL THERAPIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHILDHOOD SOLID TUMORS. AND THEY HAVE CREATED AN INNOVATIVE RESOURCE THAT ALLOWS RESEARCHERS WORLDWIDE TO TEST NOVEL THERAPIES FOR CHILDHOOD BRAIN TUMORS. THOSE ARE ONLY THREE OF MANY RECENT PROJECTS THAT WILL BENEFIT CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD FOR YEARS TO COME.ST. JUDE IS A HUB OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS TO ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING AND TREATMENT OF COVID-19 IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH CANCER DIAGNOSES. NATIONALLY, WE ARE HOSTING A REGISTRY TO COLLECT DATA ON CHILDREN WITH COVID-19. THE GOAL IS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE INCIDENCE, DISTRIBUTION, CLINICAL PRESENTATION, MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOMES OF THE INFECTION IN CHILDREN. ST. JUDE GLOBAL HAS ALSO CREATED A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THE EFFECT OF THE PANDEMIC ON CHILDREN WITH CANCER AROUND THE WORLD. THE GLOBAL COVID-19 OBSERVATORY AND RESOURCE CENTER FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER ALLOWS CLINICIANS WORLDWIDE TO COLLABORATE, CONNECT AND FIND THE LATEST INFORMATION ON COVID-19 AS IT RELATES TO PEDIATRIC CANCER.ALTHOUGH INCREDIBLE RESOURCES HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO PROTECTING THE CAMPUS FROM COVID-19, OUR MISSION - FINDING CURES AND SAVING CHILDREN - REMAINS AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL WE DO. OUR FACULTY AND STAFF KNOW ALL TOO WELL THAT CANCER AND OTHER DEADLY ILLNESSES DON'T STOP, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC. AS A RESULT, WE CONTINUE TO CARE FOR THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND OTHER LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES. WE ARE FOCUSED ON ENSURING PATIENTS GET THE TREATMENT THEY NEED EVEN DURING THIS GLOBAL CRISIS.ST. JUDE ALSO PRODUCED EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES ON COVID-19 FOR OUR COMMUNITY, MAKING THEM PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON STJUDE.ORG AND OUR @STJUDERESEARCH SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, AS WELL AS PROVIDING EXPERTS FOR NEWS MEDIA STORIES ON COVID-19. COMMUNITY EDUCATION ALSO INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING:
