Almost all patient care takes place at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance located on the Hutchinson Center campus. Patients who require hospitalization receive inpatient care in the Alliance's units at University of Washington Medical Center located nearby. Together with our partners, UW Medicine and Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center, the SCCA combines the clinical and research strengths of three world-class medical institutions to bring the latest treatments to patients with most forms of cancer.
The SCCA provides patient care for patients undergoing treatment through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Bone Marrow Transplant Program. Hutchinson Center physician researchers attend to patients who receive stem cell or bone marrow transplants to treat certain blood cancers and autoimmune diseases. All of the transplant treatment and research protocols are developed by the Hutchinson Center, which has the largest transplant program in the world. Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, who pioneered bone marrow transplantation and developed the clinical transplant program here, was awarded the 1990 Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology in 1990.
