Did you know most children at St. Judes 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. Judes 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 on the first floor of the Patient Care Center and in the Translational Trials Unit. Most of a child’s visits to St. Judes will be for outpatient care in one of these areas.
