We have Native Americans, veterans, and other minority groups who otherwise would not be able to access cancer treatment,” said Governor Huntsman. “What we do here is truly unique.” “We are thrilled and honored that Vice President Biden and the entire White House administration has recognized Huntsman Cancer Institute as one of the best in the nation and is looking to us as a valuable resource in this fight to cure cancer,” Beckerle said. “If we can work together and effectively leverage and harness ON FEBRUARY 26, 2016, Huntsman Cancer the information we are gathering, we can really Institute (HCI) had the honor of hosting GIVING accelerate progress.” Vice President Joe Biden as a part of President Obama’s cancer “moonshot” initiative.
