The centre also extends the Huntsman Cancer Institute Wellness and Integrative Health Center by 1,936ft², providing a range of complementary services such as massage therapy and nutrition education.

The expansion was made possible through philanthropic support of $128m from major donors, including the Spencer and Kristen Kirk family and the Huntsman Foundation, among others.

This new centre aims to create a healing environment and features a significant collection of American Indian art from the Jon M. and Karen Huntsman family collection.

Designed by architects with Arch Nexus and built by Layton Construction, the new centre is connected to the existing facility, and is set to accept outpatient visits from 5 June, followed by inpatient care from 21 June.
