HOSPITAL: Don't forget St. Jude

| June 5, 2016 9:00 PM

If I may offer a correction to an item in the June 1 Press. In the article “North Idaho Ninjas” the Shriners hospital is not the last one in this country that will see kids “whether they can pay for it or not.” St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., will accept patients and, I believe, during treatment house and feed their parents who will never see a bill for anything. Plaudits are due to the late comedian Danny Thomas who started this hospital and his daughter, Marlo, who currently speaks and pleads for it. (Of course St. Jude had a hand in it as well.)
