Restauranteurs Phil and Tracy Czarnec have been serving food for two decades to loyal customers in the St. Louis Central West End neighborhood, home to the Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine campus. Although the COVID-19 stay at home order pushed them into temporarily closing their 25-year-old Wild Flower Restaurant, they decided to keep their second eatery, BBQ Saloon, open for curbside delivery.

The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital’s mission is to help donors enrich lives, save lives and transform health care through charitable gifts, and we’re here to support our frontline team now more than ever.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital is supporting Washington University School of Medicine’s critical trial of antimalarial and antibiotic drugs to treat COVID-19 patients. Express Scripts, a Cigna company, donated these medications for the clinical trial being conducted at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

The safety and well-being of our shared communities remains our highest priority. The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, in keeping with the recommendations of the CDC and BJC HealthCare, has made the decision to act proactively. 

For the past nine years, performers from both institutions have been partnering to present a free concert in the lobby of the Center for Advanced Medicine (CAM). The event is sponsored by the Arts & Healthcare Program at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and organized by Sarah Colby, the program’s coordinator, and Bradley Fritz, MD, clinical fellow in the Washington University Department of Anesthesiology. The Arts & Healthcare Program is supported by The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
