Fred Hutch / University of Washington / Seattle Children’s Cancer Consortium

The Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children’s Cancer Consortium is a collaboration among three partner institutions: the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, the University of Washington, and Seattle Children’s Hospital. Founded in 1972, Fred Hutch received its first NCI comprehensive cancer center designation in 1973.

Over the years, the three institutions became highly integrated through joint cancer research and care programs and shared training grants. The formation of the Consortium in 2002 further cemented these relationships, and the comprehensive cancer center designation was conferred by NCI in 2003.
