As Susan Ell plans for her upcoming retirementt from the Foundation she reflects on 10 years spent advancing our mission and growing our impact--inspired by donors every step of the way. 

Through its affiliation with Washington University School of Medicine and strategic partnerships, BJC HealthCare seamlessly integrates education, research, and clinical care to provide leading-edge treatments for patients while training the next generation of health care professionals. The Foundation plays a crucial role in providing educational opportunities, nursing scholarships, endowed chairs, mentorship programs, and more with the help of generous donors.

In its milestone 15th year, we are pleased to announce that the Cancer Frontier Fund at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital recently funded six new projects through the Siteman Investment Program, a research grant program at Siteman. These projects include research focused on breast and ovarian cancer development, chemoradiation therapy for cervical cancer, immunotherapy for leukemia, and enhancing the well-being of family caregivers of cancer hospice patients.

You give new hope to the 75,000 cancer patients treated annually at Siteman Cancer Center! Learn more about your impact. 

Long recognized as leaders in head and neck tumor surgery and reconstruction, Siteman recently established the Head and Neck Tumor Center, among the first of its kind in the country.
