Bill Summary
A Senate Resolution To 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 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and various South Carolina stakeholders to establish a St. Jude affiliate program in the state. The resolution highlights St. Jude's longstanding commitment to treating childhood cancers and life-threatening diseases, noting that the hospital currently has affiliate programs in other locations but none directly in South Carolina. The Childhood Cancer Taskforce's recent report indicates an increase in childhood cancer incidence in the state, particularly in leukemia and lymphoma. The resolution emphasizes that South Carolina has a strong network of medical schools, hospitals, and healthcare collaboratives that are well-positioned to support such an affiliate program. By creating this partnership, the state aims to provide world-class, compassionate care closer to home for children with serious illnesses. The resolution specifically calls on St. Jude, the Childhood Cancer Task Force, medical schools, and other stakeholders to work together to develop this affiliate program. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of the resolution be presented to key leaders in St. Jude, South Carolina medical institutions, and healthcare organizations.
