Most of St. Jude’s patients are children. Patients that come to St. Jude are those that have been referred by a physician, have been diagnosed with a disease currently under study, and are eligible for a research protocol.

Urgent care settings are structured to take care of patients with an illness or injury that does not necessarily require a trip to the emergency department, but also can not wait until the next day. Also, urgent care settings provide patients with better access than primary care settings. Usually, urgent care facilities offer services seven days a week. Often, patients substitute urgent care clinics for an emergency care, which is a mistake. There are services that urgent care cannot provide.

The word “healing” comes from an Anglo-Saxon word Haelen, which means to make whole (Zborowsky, 2008). Healing hospitals strive to promote harmony of the spirit, body, and mind. These environments help to reduce patients’ anxiety and stress in effort to help the body heal itself.
