Absolutely beautiful. Very emotional. All the wonderful care given to the sick children and their families. If insurance doesn't cover, no child is turned away.....families are not charged. Danny Thomas gave the most wonder gift to children & their families....HOPE & his family carries on his legacy. St. Jude is huge. It's a city in itself...unbelievable!

There is history on Danny Thomas and on the founders of St Jude . It is a beautiful building. I try to visit every time I go back to the hospital. There are Beautiful stain glass windows too.

Neat tourist spot at St. Judes. It's located out of the way so you don't interrupt the real and important work. Full of information about Danny Thomas, the start of St. Jude and their charity work. The garden in the back is beautiful and peaceful. I was pleasantly surprised with the very new and clean public bathrooms!

I have visited this beautiful building and it's grounds that's located directly across from the main entrance of St. Jude many times over the years. It is a priviledge because my wife works in the hospital and I come to the campus often to have breakfast with her as well as I've been here for check presentations for fundraisers that we've done and for other fundraising activities over the years. This is truly an amazing and wonderful place of hope where miracles happen every day. I feel blessed to have been able to have these experiences. The Danny Thomas / ALSAC Pavilion is a beautiful place that serves as a historical record of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the American, Lebanese and Syrian Associated Charities and it's founder, Danny Thomas. The layout of the Danny Thomas/ALSAC Pavilion is in a star-like shape with five alcoves surrounding the rotunda. It's design symbolizes the far-reaching scope of ALSAC and the work of St. Jude. The brilliant Terrazzo flooring, with a radiating geometric pattern, lines the entry. Inside the dome there's marble-sheathed columns supporting a cupola painted in blues & greens with magenta and purple accents, indicative of the colors of the Mediterranean. You see the lovely calligraphically inscriptions on the arched panels in Arabic and translated in English, that sum up the founder and hospital's mission: "He who denies his heritage has no heritage." "No child should die in the dawn of life." "Those who work for the good are as those who do the good." Tours are by reservation, self-guided and free to the public and available 8 am - 4 pm every day. To make sure that the Pavilion is not closed for a special event, you can call (901) 595-4414 or you can send an email to:
[email protected] to confirm. It's remarkable and inspiring to see Danny's children, Marlo, Terre and Tony working to continue their father's dream with their continued leadership and dedication to children, their families and all the people who work together for this noble mission of hope.
