What Barnes-Jewish Hospital does

Barnes-Jewish Hospital is a private nonprofit academic medical center founded in 1997 through the merger of Barnes Hospital and Jewish Hospital, headquartered at One Barnes-Jewish Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri. The hospital operates as the flagship institution of BJC HealthCare and serves as the primary teaching hospital for Washington University School of Medicine (WashU Medicine), enabling access to physician-researchers, clinical trials, and academic medicine expertise. It serves patients across the St. Louis metropolitan area, the broader Midwest region, and selectively nationally and internationally for advanced specialty procedures.

The hospital delivers care through specialized centers including the Siteman Cancer Center (NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center), the Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Heart & Vascular Center, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Spine Center, Transplant Program, Orthopedic Care, Women & Infants services, and a 52,000-square-foot Emergency Department with 70 beds operating as a Level 1 trauma center. Underlying technology includes robotic surgical systems (notably robotic mitral valve repair, the only provider within 200 miles), intraoperative MRI, Gamma Knife radiosurgery, comprehensive diagnostic imaging, and computerized triage and order-entry systems. Support functions include the BJC Center for Clinical Excellence, staffed by epidemiologists, analysts, industrial engineers, and quality consultants.

Barnes-Jewish generates revenue through fee-for-service patient care across emergency, inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, and surgical services, with pricing quote-based by procedure complexity and insurance coverage. Patient acquisition channels include the 24/7 Emergency Department, physician referrals within and outside BJC, scheduled appointments via phone and online portals, and dedicated international patient services. The hospital has earned five Magnet designations for nursing excellence and is consistently ranked #11 nationally on U.S. News & World Report's Honor Roll, #1 in Missouri and St. Louis, with national ranking in 11 of 14 specialties.
