A delegation of newly-elected Missouri legislators toured St. Louis Children’s Hospital to learn more about the vital relationship between Washington University and the Barnes-Jewish-Christian (BJC) Health Care System. These state representatives heard presentations on innovative research being conducted at the Washington University School of Medicine, and how this benefits families in Missouri.
The Washington University NF Center was chosen as one of four programs to highlight in this tour.
