Breaking Ground On Huntsman Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in Vineyard

Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah broke ground on its second Comprehensive Cancer Center on Tuesday, April 8, advancing construction of a new facility wholly dedicated to delivering prevention, hope, and healing to cancer patients. Situated in Vineyard, in the heart of Utah County, the Huntsman Cancer Institute site will reduce travel time by more than an hour each way for thousands of patients. The new facility will expand capacity for research, care, education, and training that are needed as the state of Utah and the surrounding region experience significant population growth.

More than 450 guests attended the celebration, including Utah County patients, donors, state and local representatives, members of the community, students, and Huntsman Cancer Institute clinicians, scientists, and staff. The event was held adjacent to the future home of the Huntsman Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in Vineyard, close to Utah Lake in the heart of Utah County. Site work began in November 2024 to prepare the land for utilities, roads, and other necessary infrastructure. The groundbreaking ceremony marks the next step in advancing vertical construction on the site.

Huntsman Cancer Institute chose Vineyard for this location to ease the travel burden for patients in central and southern portions of the state. Last year, more than 40,000 patient visits from Utah County and adjacent areas were hosted by Huntsman Cancer Institute. The journey these patients made and the services they accessed were utilized to inform the clinical programs offered in Phase 1A of Huntsman Cancer Institute Vineyard. These will include multidisciplinary cancer clinics, radiation oncology, comprehensive cancer imaging, endoscopy, infusion and pharmacy, wellness and integrative health, screening and early detection, and an acute care clinic.
