Barnes-Jewish Hospital

Consistently ranked among America’s best hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, Barnes-Jewish is a nationally recognized academic medical center with exceptional quality and unmatched experience for patients needing all levels of care, from the most common to the more complex. In partnership with Washington University School of Medicine – and with more than 1,800 physicians – it is the largest hospital in Missouri caring for communities that extend across the country.

Overview

Advanced medicine. Community care.

A teaching hospital staffed by Washington University physicians, Barnes-Jewish is internationally recognized for its leading-edge therapies and commitment to educating the next generation of medical professionals. Barnes-Jewish is also the first hospital in Missouri to be designated as a Magnet hospital in 2003 by the American Nurses Credentialing Center for excellence in nursing and has been redesignated consistently since.

Barnes-Jewish serves as a safety net hospital for the city of St. Louis, with a mission to care for the underserved and underinsured in the diverse communities of the St. Louis metro area, where many people have no access to health care apart from Barnes-Jewish – and the hospital is proud to provide urgently needed services to these populations.  

We believe the world’s most advanced medicine and breakthrough treatments are only effective if they reach the patients who need them most.
