Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital Unveils State-of-the-Art Orthopedic Outpatient Surgery Center, Enhancing Community Access to Advanced Care

Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital is proud to announce the grand opening of its new Orthopedic Outpatient Surgery Center, celebrated with a successful ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 9, 2025. The St. Charles Regional Chamber was pleased to participate in the festivities, marking a significant milestone for healthcare in the St. Charles County community.

This new, dedicated Orthopedic Outpatient Surgery Center represents a substantial advancement in accessible, high-quality orthopedic care for residents of St. Peters and the surrounding region. Designed with patient comfort and efficiency in mind, the center offers a modern, specialized environment for a wide range of orthopedic procedures that no longer require an overnight hospital stay.

The impact of this new service on the community is expected to be profound. Patients will benefit from:

• Increased Accessibility: streamlined scheduling and a more convenient location for many orthopedic procedures.
• Faster Recovery: Outpatient surgery often leads to quicker discharge and recovery in the comfort of one's own home.
• Specialized Care: A facility entirely focused on orthopedic procedures, allowing for highly specialized equipment and staff expertise.
• Reduced Costs: Outpatient settings can often lead to lower healthcare costs for both patients and the healthcare system.

“The St. Charles Regional Chamber was delighted to be part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for this outstanding new facility,” said Scott Tate, President / CEO of the St. Charles Regional Chamber. “Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital continues to be a vital asset to our community, and this Orthopedic Outpatient Surgery Center will undoubtedly have a positive and lasting impact on the health and well-being of our citizens.”

The Orthopedic Outpatient Surgery Center will provide a broad spectrum of services, including but not limited to, arthroscopic procedures, hand and foot surgeries, and certain joint procedures. This expansion of services reinforces Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital's position as a leading healthcare provider in the region, dedicated to offering advanced medical care close to home.
