Washington University Medical School and Associated Hospitals (WUMSAH) was the first major effort to form a central organization of six separately governed institutions: Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital, Barnes Hospital, The Jewish Hospital of St. Louis, St. Louis Children's Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine, and Central Institute for the Deaf. The organization was started by Edgar M. Queeny, then President of the Barnes Hospital Trustees, who served as the first Chairman of the WUMSAH Board of Directors. On March 14, 1972, WUMSAH was officially renamed Washington University Medical Center (WUMC).
