The Washington University Medical Center (WUMC), located in St. Louis, Missouri, is a large scale health-care focused commercial development located in St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood. The Washington University Medical Center Redevelopment Corporation (http://wumcrc.com/) focuses on developing public-private partnerships that promote infrastructure and housing development in the WUMC area. The executive director of WUMCRC is Brian Phillips.[1] Although many of the institutions are affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis, most of the institutions of WUMC are independent of the University.
