Patient Care

Most children at St. Jude are treated as outpatients. This means they do not spend the night at the hospital. They only have to be at the hospital for tests, check-ups, and treatments. This practice reflects the St. Jude approach to patient care. We strive to provide the best treatments and care to our patients. We want them to spend as much time as possible just being kids and teens, not confined to hospital rooms.

The terms “outpatient,” “clinic,” “ACU,” and “Ambulatory Care Unit” all refer to the clinic areas. Most of your child’s visits to St. Jude will be for outpatient care in one of these areas.
