About Us

Mission

Huntsman Cancer Institute’s mission is to understand cancer from its beginnings, to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide education about cancer risk, prevention, and care.

Vision

Passionate individuals and teams
delivering a cancer-free frontier
through scientific discovery and human touch

Principles

• Patient and community first
• United effort
• Excellence in all we do

These are the principles that guide us. From our physicians and nurses providing care, to volunteers handing out snacks in clinic waiting areas, to valets greeting visitors at the front entrance, the Huntsman Cancer Institute team aims to make each person’s experience exceptional.

Compassionate Workplace

Burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma are normal reactions to the abnormally stressful job of caring for those who are sick. Huntsman Cancer Institute administration recognizes these issues impact all HCI staff who connect with patients. Compassionate Workplace is a comprehensive, evidence-based program that fosters resiliency and supports the personal growth and development of our employees. Learn more.

We are dedicated to creating an environment that not only promotes but insists upon equity, diversity, inclusion, and a cancer-free frontier for all communities, including our staff, providers, patients, and their loved ones.
