St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has a unique model that provides exceptional care to patients, making the funds raised by a recent single even more significant. Over 50% of St. Jude’s patients are underinsured or uninsured, and the cost of care can exceed $1 million. To ensure that families can prioritize their child’s care over cost, St. Jude operates on a philosophy that does not charge patients or their families for care, co-pays, or deductibles.
To achieve this level of care, donations to St. Jude are largely directed towards medical costs, with 82 cents of every dollar received going towards current and future needs. Country music star Scotty McCreery and other young artists recently collaborated on a special cover of “Angels Among Us” to raise funds for St. Jude. This collaboration, along with Radio Disney’s support, has made a significant contribution to the fight against childhood cancer.
The success of the single is heartwarming, and it’s wonderful to see talented artists dedicating their time and talents to such a worthy cause. The music video for “Angels Among Us” showcases the joy and happiness of the musicians and their special audience of St. Jude patients. Through their generous efforts, St. Jude can continue to provide exceptional care and support to children and their families.
