Response

Washington University alumni in China have provided PPE for health-care workers on the Washington University Medical Campus.

The Missouri Air National Guard 131st Bomb Wing flew over St. Louis in a salute to health-care workers and essential employees.

With his business temporarily shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a local distillery owner decided to use his time and unique resources to produce an essential product for front line workers in the St. Louis community.

In a demonstration of gratitude, BJC and Washington University School of Medicine teamed up to place signs around the Medical Campus, including this one over Forest Park Avenue.

“Staffers ask Dennis where he got his mask while he is making his rounds delivering packages. So, from these inquiries, I’ve made 60 more masks that Dennis has delivered.”

Thanks to National Beverage Corp, our health-care providers on the frontlines won’t go thirsty. The company donated 100 cases of LaCroix sparkling water to the School of Medicine for delivery to our health-care teams working at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

As our campuses continue to come together to support the COVID-19 response, School of Law colleagues are finding ways to help health-care workers at the School of Medicine.

Thanks to collaboration between infection prevention staff and The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, meals will be provided for rotating groups of patient care areas.

The COVID-19 WashU/BJC Maker Task Force has emerged as a hub for St. Louis-area makers to help health-care workers stay safe as they care for COVID-19 patients.

Today, May 6, kicks off National Nurses Week. To all our nurses, more than ever, we are grateful for your hard work and sacrifice to keep us safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
