Breast Cancer Awareness Month is almost over, but the impact donors make extends far beyond October. đź©·

Thanks to donors through the Foundation, researchers at WashU Medicine and Siteman Cancer Center are making breakthroughs in triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive cancer subtypes.

Dr. Shu (Joy) Jiang and collogues have developed an AI technology that predicts patient risk for developing triple-negative breast cancer in the next five years. This summer the technology received Breakthrough Device designation from the FDA and was acquired by Lunit Cancer Screening.

Every discovery begins with generosity. Help shape what comes next. https://ow.ly/UzH150Xiwpm

Our Story

As part of the 1996 merger of Barnes Hospital and Jewish Hospital, The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital was born, carrying forward a rich history of philanthropy from both institutions.

Over time, much has changed at the Foundation. In 2011, its original name—the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation—became The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The board of directors also has evolved. Once required to have 20 board members each from the former Barnes and Jewish Hospitals, it now represents a cross-section of the broader community.

Many other aspects of hospital life, such as medical technology and health care options, have also changed dramatically. But one focus remains the same. Barnes and Jewish Hospital were founded, through generous donations, to provide medical care to patients of any religion or economic background—and today, Barnes-Jewish Hospital continues to offer the same broad-based care, thanks to the continued generosity of the community.
