Every 3 minutes, families receive the life shattering news that their child has been diagnosed with cancer.
The St. Jude Affiliate Clinic in Johnson City – one of only eight clinics in the nation that are part of the St. Jude Affiliate Program – is a partnership between St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, ETSU and Niswonger Children’s Hospital.
The Quillen College of Medicine endeavors to meet community and regional health needs by identification, creation, and execution of the necessary programs through utilization of its diverse resources. The college is a major health care provider for East Tennessee.
Bucs For St. Jude are a group of medical students who give back to the community in pursuit of improved health outcomes for families and children receiving medical care throughout the region.
The Bucs For St. Jude Playground Project is a fundraising event to help improve our playrooms and Genevieve’s Butterfly Playhouse at the Ronald McDonald House of Southern Appalachian. Our playhouse gives a lot of fun to young children and their siblings while they receive treatment in Niswonger Children’s Hospital and the St. Jude Research Affiliate Clinic. Giving them a safe and fun place to relax and be kids makes healing in our home away from home more comfortable and helps us improve outcomes for their families. Help us raise the roof on our playhouse and give generously so these students can renovate our playhouse and keep it fun for the hundreds of children we serve each year.
Shop for Genevieve’s Butterfly Playhouse on our Amazon Wishlist and help us fill the space with fun for everyone https://a.co/6AxpZP2
