Why is it named Barnes Jewish hospital?

Barnes-Jewish Hospital is named after two prominent entities: the Barnes Hospital, which was established in 1914 by the Barnes estate, and the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis, founded in 1902. The two institutions merged in 1996 to create a larger, more comprehensive healthcare facility, reflecting a commitment to serving the community. The name honors both the legacy of the Barnes family and the Jewish community's contributions to healthcare in St. Louis.
