Hillary Clinton to visit St. Jude hospital in Memphis

MEMPHIS — Hillary Rodham Clinton is scheduled to visit St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis.

Clinton's visit Thursday will be at least the second time she has visited St. Jude. She also visited when she was first lady.

St. Jude is considered a leading researcher of cancer and other life-threatening diseases that affect children. The hospital says it is working to increase the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent in the next decade.

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing and food. Celebrities pass through the hospital on a regular basis to meet with patients.

Clinton, a former U.S. senator and secretary of state, has yet to announce whether she will run for president in 2016.
