The Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Hospital Transplant Center has one of the oldest and most established transplant programs in the country. Your gift supports the Center’s ability to pioneer procedures to treat patients with end-stage organ failure and provide some of the best outcomes in our region and our nation.


Innovation and Discovery

Too often, a transplant program’s ability to save lives is limited by the insufficient supply of donor organs. Nevertheless, the need for transplants—and the number of people on the wait list—grows. Your support changes the outlook for patients by providing physician-scientists with the vital resources to conduct and use innovative research to pioneer new procedures.

A Heart Care Milestone

Wednesday, September 18, 2024

On June 11, BJC HealthCare marked a significant milestone for the Barnes-Jewish Hospital campus renewal project with the Plaza West Tower topping out ceremony. Hospital and civic leaders, including Foundation board members, looked skyward to watch the installation of the final steel beam on the new 16-story building.

The Plaza West Tower, opening in 2025, will consolidate the Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Heart and Vascular Center inpatient beds and ICU rooms in a single location, facilitating greater collaboration among caregivers and easier wayfinding for patients and families. The new facility will also create synergy that will improve the patient and family experience.

Donors will play an essential role in bringing this remarkable new building to life—by providing critical funds to support the people and programs inside. Philanthropic investment through the Foundation will shape the future of heart and vascular research and collaboration to promote extraordinary heart care, an enhanced patient experience, and training and ongoing education of the next generation of heart specialists.
