Friends of the Saint Louis University Liver Center Host 15th Annual Diamonds Gala

11/01/2017

On Saturday, Nov. 11, the Friends of the Saint Louis University Liver center will celebrate 15 years of support for clinical care and research initiatives to the nationally recognized Saint Louis University Liver Center with cocktails, dinner and camaraderie.

This milestone year, 2017, recognizes the exemplary commitment of our physicians, clinical staff and investigators who serve thousands of patients each year diagnosed with various types of liver disease.

Liver specialists in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital care for more than 1,500 patients per month, with one of the largest hepatitis C practices in the world. 

Contributions over the last 15 years to the Friends have made a significant impact, raising over $3.5 million in support of clinical and basic science research, medical equipment and technology, patient care and educational opportunities sponsored by the Liver Center. Moreover, the impact of initial seed research grants funded by the Friends has been instrumental in securing over $18 million in NIH funding for the continuation of advanced research initiatives to improve patient care.
