The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital is pleased to announce the establishment of the Ira Kodner, MD, Endowed Chair in Supportive Care Research by Anne and John McDonnell. Debra Parker Oliver, PhD, MSW, has been appointed the inaugural Ira Kodner, MD, Endowed Chair in Supportive Care Research.

Siteman Cancer Center has a proud history of community support. Though the center was named for philanthropist Alvin J. Siteman, the establishment of a new cancer center would take an entire community to mobilize and plan to ultimately break ground on what is now considered one of the premier cancer centers in the U.S.

As Siteman celebrates its 20th anniversary, The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital is grateful to the many generous donors who have helped make the center a national leader in cancer treatment and research.

The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital is committed to supporting research and programs that advance patient care at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, Siteman Cancer Center, Washington University School of Medicine, Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College and community organizations throughout St. Louis.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital established The Heroes in Training Scholarship Fund to help Goldfarb continue to attract dedicated students who will be the future of the nursing profession and caregivers for generations to come.
