An accomplished executive with over 25 years of leadership experience, Patrick Stoup serves as CEO of SAI in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Alongside his activities at the professional services company, Patrick Stoup gives back to the community by supporting various nonprofit organizations, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. 

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has announced the launch of St. Jude Global, an initiative that will expand the hospital's reach worldwide. With its $100 million initial investment, St. Jude has started working toward the goal of influencing the care of approximately 30 percent of children with cancer across the globe. The hospital hopes to reach this ambitious goal within the next decade. 

Through the initiative, St. Jude will focus specifically on improving pediatric cancer diagnosis and treatment in low and middle-income countries. St. Jude Global will help improve cancer care by training health care workers, strengthening health care systems and initiatives, and advancing research on a global scale. 

Ultimately, St. Jude plans to use the initiative to create a worldwide network of programs and institutions working to facilitate collaboration, research, and innovation. To do so, the hospital will build on relationships it has already established in a number of countries and regions around the world.
