Huntsman Cancer Institute Research Hospital, University of Utah -- Salt Lake City, Utah

Huntsman Cancer Institute Research Hospital is a unique patient care environment inspired by the founders, Jon and Karen Huntsman. The goal of the Institute and the Cancer Research Hospital is to put patients first and provide hope through research and treatment on the road to finding cures for cancer.

The cancer research hospital building is designed to make a patient feel at home immediately. In keeping with the desires of the donors, these waiting areas are appointed to provide optimism and a feeling of confidence and care on the part of the families of the patients undergoing treatment. Family care in the cancer program is essential. The design of the building helps to facilitate the belief that patients are not the only individuals affected by cancer. Family and loved ones feel the pain as well.

The Huntsman Cancer Research Hospital received the "Project of the Year" award from the Intermountain Contractor in 2002
