EXPANDING ACCESS TO WORLD-CLASS CARE
In 2024 alone, Huntsman Cancer Institute hosted more than 40,000 patient visits from Utah County and adjacent areas. Patients traveled around 3.5 million miles—the equivalent of 80,000 hours of travel time—to access Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. The Comprehensive Cancer Center in Vineyard will ease the travel burden for patients in central and southern portions of the state and beyond, saving patients more than two hours of travel time per visit, or an estimated million miles per year.
Located within minutes of the freeway and public transportation, this state-of-the-art facility will bring world-class cancer care to even more communities in Utah and the Mountain West.

Meeting Community Needs
The state of Utah is experiencing a major rise in population, and Vineyard, Utah, is one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. The Huntsman Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in Vineyard creates a rare opportunity to co-design the cancer center in this beautiful community near Utah Lake.
This state-of-the-art, 272,000-square-foot facility includes a five-story clinical care building and a three-story research building. The buildings are connected by a community engagement and education space that will serve as a communication and innovation hub for research, education, and community participation.
This facility is “Phase 1A†of the project—the first of what is anticipated to be several phases at the site. Phase 1B is anticipated to follow shortly thereafter and will bring inpatient care, a surgical center, and other resources. Planning for future services and facilities will be informed by patient and community needs.
