The Children’s Discovery Institute, a joint-partnership between BJC’s St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, funds research grants to study pediatric illnesses, like finding clues to how respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes disease.

In 2016, BJC donated $182 million for education and research programs and initiatives.

Pedal the Cause just wrapped up its most successful event yet. On September 23 and 24, more than 3,000 riders, 350 Kids-Challenge participants, more than 1,000 volunteers and more than 5,000 spectators gathered at Chesterfield Amphitheater to raise money to benefit innovative cancer research.

Each year, BJC and its employees support dozens of causes, many of them near and dear to the heart for employees and their loved ones. Here is an example of that support.

Normandy High School is home to the newest school-based health center in the St. Louis area.

One in every eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Physicians say the key to survivorship is early detection, but what happens when someone cannot afford to have an annual screening?

Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital partnered with the Sullivan School District to provide easily accessible health care for students to improve their overall health and reduce school absences.

In some communities, access to an abundance of fresh foods and produce is something many take for granted. In stark contrast, there are other communities where grocery choices are limited to corner stores and gas stations. For some living in these communities, a quick run for fresh food simply doesn’t exist, and a journey for produce on public transit may take an hour or more with multiple transfers.

More than 400 Saint Louis Public School (SLPS) students, staff and faculty took steps — dance steps — to improve their health and combat obesity at the fourth annual Let’s Move! STL Move Your Body Flash Mob, May 4 at Busch Stadium.

Community members, patients and families, and even BJC employees often share their gratitude for the ways BJC has made a difference in their lives, in the lives of their loved ones or in the communities BJC serves. Here are some of those words of gratitude.
