Bill Summary

Encourage St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, The Members Of The South Carolina Childhood Cancer Task Force, The Medical Schools Of The State, And Other Appropriate Stakeholders To Undertake Efforts To Establish And Operate A St. Jude Affiliate Program In The State Of South Carolina.

AI Summary

This resolution encourages the establishment of a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital affiliate program in South Carolina by calling on St. Jude, the South Carolina Childhood Cancer Task Force, medical schools, hospitals, and other stakeholders to collaborate on creating a local network of clinics and treatment centers. The resolution highlights the importance of this effort by noting St. Jude's long-standing commitment to treating childhood cancers and life-threatening diseases, and references a September 2024 report that identified increasing childhood cancer rates in the state, particularly for leukemia and lymphoma. The proposed affiliate program would build upon existing state healthcare infrastructure, including four children's hospitals, medical schools, and healthcare systems, to provide world-class, compassionate care closer to patients' homes. The resolution specifically aims to expand on St. Jude's current affiliate program model, with the nearest locations currently being in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Johnson City, Tennessee, and seeks to improve childhood cancer treatment and survival rates in South Carolina. The resolution concludes by directing copies of the resolution to be sent to key leadership at St. Jude, medical institutions, and healthcare systems involved in this potential collaborative effort.
