A new healing space designed for heart and vascular patients
Barnes-Jewish Hospital and WashU Medicine physicians have long been leaders in heart and vascular care, bringing tomorrow’s treatments to patients today.
Now we're taking the patient experience to another level through the opening of Plaza West Tower, our new state-of-the-art 16-story facility designed specifically with the needs of heart and vascular patients, their families, and care teams in mind. By combining the latest technology with thoughtful, patient-centered design and private rooms, patients can experience faster healing and reduced stress.
Delivering the highest standard of advanced heart and vascular care
WashU Medicine physicians perform a wide range of open-heart and minimally invasive procedures to treat even the most complex conditions. At Plaza West Tower, you’ll benefit from our team’s cardiovascular expertise in a space built specifically for heart and vascular patients.
- Nationally ranked heart and vascular care: Together with our physician partners at WashU Medicine, we are a national leader in delivering advanced cardiovascular care—it's why patients from across the region trust us with their heart health.
- Advanced cardiovascular care: Backed by decades of experience and groundbreaking surgical techniques, WashU Medicine surgeons deliver expert care for patients facing all types and stages of cardiovascular disease, which they might not find at other hospitals. These advanced techniques and treatments expand care options for patients who may not be good candidates for traditional surgery.
- Early access to new treatments: Patients benefit from groundbreaking research and clinical trials from WashU Medicine. And because our team has early access to treatments, it often means they have more experience with them than other centers. Patients benefit from more options and better outcomes, especially in complex or difficult-to-treat conditions.
