Employees surround St. Jude President and Chief Executive Officer James R. Downing, MD, during a “silliness break” to celebrate the announcement that St. Jude is listed for the fifth consecutive year as one of FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.”
“From the lab to the clinic to the front desk, everyone at St. Jude plays a role in fulfilling our incredible mission of finding cures for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” Downing said. “When people find meaning in their work and are supported by an environment that fosters teamwork, creativity and compassion, the extraordinary is possible.”
