The CCCL is a unique regional center for the comprehensive treatment of pediatric cancer. An affiliate of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, the center works in close association with AUBMC.

The mission of the CCCL is to save young lives, using the best research and treatment available, and providing the greatest care with no cost incurred on the patients’ families. The CCCL depends on donations, and its ability to fulfill its mission is constrained by the availability of funds at its disposal. This project cannot survive without significant financial backing from the community.
