Vineyard, UT – Construction is progressing on the new Huntsman Cancer Institute campus in Vineyard, a major development set to transform the landscape of local healthcare. For residents in one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, the facility represents a new era of convenient access to comprehensive cancer treatment and cutting-edge research.
A New Standard for Local Cancer Treatment
The Vineyard campus is engineered to be a comprehensive cancer center, ensuring local patients can receive a full spectrum of care close to home. The first phase will provide a host of essential services, including multidisciplinary clinical care, radiation oncology, advanced cancer imaging, and infusion therapy.
Beyond treatment, the facility will be a hub for innovation. It will house a significant research program focused on data science and provide the community with access to promising new treatments through clinical trials. Located near Brigham Young University, Utah Valley University, and the Silicon tech hub, the Vineyard campus will advance innovative cancer research, help train the next generation of scientists and health workers, and support our families in living the healthiest lives possible.
Project Milestones and Community Impact
Following a groundbreaking ceremony on April 8, 2025, the first $400 million phase of the project is visibly taking shape on its 20-acre site. The campus was made possible by a powerful collaboration, including a $75 million appropriation from the Utah Legislature combined with extensive philanthropic support from the Huntsman Cancer Foundation and other major community partners. The land for the facility was the result of a generous donation of roughly 20 acres of property worth over $20 million that was donated by the development team of Flagship Companies and the Woodbury Corporation. The facility is scheduled to open to patients in fall 2028.
Background

Beyond healthcare, an economic projection anticipates the project will create more than 11,000 jobs and generate $1.25 billion in annual gross state product.
