The outpouring of support demonstrated for Barnes-Jewish Hospital caregivers on the frontline battling COVID-19 by businesses and individuals in our community has been nothing short of astounding.

After joining Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College, Nancy Ridenour, Ph.D., APRN, FAAN, The Maxine Clark and Bob Fox President, began to search for ways to help the underserved and increase the number of Black nursing students. She found inspiration in “The Color of Medicine,” a documentary about the historic Homer G. Phillips Hospital that served the St. Louis Black community from 1937 until 1979.

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. These awards are made possible through the generosity of our donors.
