The move is in addition to expansion projects currently underway at Siteman’s main campus at Washington University Medical Center and at Siteman Cancer Center-South County, near Interstate 55 and Butler Hill Road.
Under the expansion, additional physicians and healthcare staff will be added to serve the growing number of patients seeking specialised cancer care at Siteman.

Barnes-Jewish St Peters Hospital president Larry Tracy said: "Our mission is to improve the health of the people and communities we serve.
"In addition to providing excellent care, we want to ensure our patients’ comfort. That’s why the design process also focused on maintaining the friendly, community hospital atmosphere they appreciate."
