Welcome
Whether you are married or single, have kids or not, WUMCHA-A Division of Barnes Jewish Hospital has something for you.
WUMCHA ( wümchä )
WUMCHA, the Washington University Medical Center Housestaff Auxiliary, (A Division of Barnes Jewish Hospital) was formed in 1982 to address the unique needs of women affiliated with the Medical Center. These women, the majority of whom have relocated to St. Louis, have special life stresses that WUMCHA strives to address. Our members are a diverse, dynamic group of women. We come from five countries and 28 states, live in 29 different neighborhoods in and surrounding St. Louis, and represent over 35 medical specialties. All 2011-12 WUMCHA members were college graduates; 52% have a graduate degree, half of which are at the doctoral level. Over 80% of us have children, and 40% are stay-at-home moms.
We extend a warm welcome to all those moving to the St. Louis area for reasons related to the medical center.
