St. Louis, MO, July 11, 2022 – Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital and Washington University Physicians are making it more convenient for adults to receive eye, ear, nose and throat care in west St. Louis County. A new outpatient center includes clinics and operating rooms dedicated to ophthalmology and otolaryngology surgical procedures.
The new outpatient center is designed to offer a calm, comforting environment for patients, in a convenient setting. The nearly 40,000-square-foot facility is located at 450 North New Ballas Road in Creve Coeur, approximately two miles from the hospital. Free parking access is located near the front entrance.
“Our patients can now receive exceptional care outside a traditional hospital setting for certain conditions,” says Ann Abad, president of Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. “The outpatient surgery center will allow patients to have a procedure, spend a short time in recovery, and then return home where they are most comfortable to complete their healing.”
Multiple outpatient clinics within the new facility will begin providing care to patients this month. The outpatient surgery area is expected to open in August.
“The new outpatient center was created to provide the highest-quality care, with a focus on the experience of our patients,” said Greg Branham, MD, chief medical officer at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital and a Washington University facial plastic surgeon. “This is another example of how Barnes-Jewish West County and Washington University Physicians continue to advance care in our community and across our region.”
With a dedicated medical and surgical services team, patients will receive seamless care in one location.
