Building on a Legacy: Looking to the Future

Huntsman Cancer Institute is united by a principle to place patients and community first. Guided by a collaborative spirit and commitment to excellence, we have achieved what some thought impossible—a nationally recognized, state-of-the-art cancer care and research facility overlooking Salt Lake City, with community clinics reaching across the valley and affiliate hospitals spanning the Mountain West.

Cancer mortality rates have declined by more than 33% since the 1990s, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. Take a moment to consider what that number represents: a mom surviving breast cancer with time to welcome her first grandchild thanks to a tailored treatment. The nightmare of a child diagnosed with leukemia being offered hope through immunotherapy that trains his own immune system to fight the disease. This future is fueled by the critical research that happens every single day at Huntsman Cancer Institute and other cancer centers across the nation.

“Each day, we are creating a future of cancer discovery and cures.”

We are embarking on the next chapter of our story with work underway at the new Vineyard campus in Utah County. Located in one of the fastest growing areas in the United States, this new facility will bring unparalleled opportunities to Utah and beyond. Our vision remains clear: passionate individuals and teams delivering a cancer-free frontier through scientific discovery and human touch.

With each breakthrough and life we touch, we move closer to a bright future where cancer is a thing of the past. I thank each of you—faculty and staff members, patients and providers, volunteers and generous donors, community members and changemakers—for your incredible contributions to this journey. The work we do is not easy, but it is deeply meaningful.

As we move forward, we do so with the same bold ambition, collaborative spirit, and compassion that has defined Huntsman Cancer Institute from the very beginning.
