The Washington University Medical Center (WUMC), located in St. Louis, Missouri, is a large scale health-care focused commercial development located in St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood. The Washington University Medical Center Redevelopment Corporation focuses on developing public-private partnerships that promote infrastructure and housing development in the WUMC area.[1] As of 2017, the executive director of WUMCRC is Brian Phillips.[2] Although many of the institutions are affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis, most of the institutions of WUMC are independent of the university. Notably, the medical center is anchored by Barnes-Jewish Hospital and also houses the Washington University Medical School.
