Premier cancer center signs on in Great Falls. Sletten Cancer Institute and McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls join forces with the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah
Affiliation of the Sletten Cancer Institute and McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls with the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah was announced Thursday at Benefis Healthcare.
Impacts of the move reach far beyond the packed conference room where the announcement was made.
For northcentral Montana cancer patients, the collaboration means access to specialized care for patients — even those in remote locations suffering from the rarest of cancers.
For scientists, the affiliation means expansion of clinical studies into causes, treatments and possible cures for the devastating disease.
For the community, the arrangement has economic growth implications and a potential influx of high-paying high-tech jobs.
