THE CLIENT

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Seattle Cancer Care Alliance unites doctors from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Seattle Children’s. Their goal every day is to turn cancer patients into cancer survivors and their purpose is to lead the world in the prevention and treatment of cancer.In 2014, more than 300 oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and many other clinicians treated over 7,200 patients for many types of cancers including leukemia and lymphoma, and breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancer. SCCA patients have access to the latest cancer treatments including stem cell and bone marrow transplantation, gene therapy, high-dose chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and other specialized therapies.

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance patients may be seen at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance outpatient clinic on Lake Union, UW Medical Center (UWMC), Evergreen Health, or UW Medicine’s Northwest Hospital & Regional Medical Center. Pediatric patients may be seen at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance outpatient clinic and Seattle Children’s. If overnight hospital stays are necessary, adult patients go to UWMC and pediatric patients go to Seattle Children’s.SCCA is home to some of the world’s best surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists. Together, this team of more than 300 cancer specialists work to ensure that your care is well planned and coordinated—from the day you walk into the clinic to the day you walk out. 

Doctors at SCCA treat cancer and specialize in the treatment of specific cancer types, such as breast cancer or lung cancer. They also treat malignant and non-malignant blood disorders. This focus allows them to develop a deep understanding of diagnosing and treating disease. SCCA doctors diagnose and treat thousands of cancer cases every year. This experience builds the expertise that makes better survival rates possible.

According to the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), SCCA patients in general have better survival rates than patients treated at other cancer treatment centers. The latest NCDB Survival Reports compare the five-year survival of patients who were treated at SCCA and other cancer treatment centers across the United States for breast cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, myeloma, and prostate cancer.

Patients at SCCA receive the latest treatments and therapies for cancer, from chemotherapy regimens that are easier to tolerate to less-invasive surgical procedures that minimize post-operative pain and speed up the healing process. Patients also have access to many new drugs and alternative treatments that are under investigation in clinical studies and are available only at SCCA and at limited sites around the country.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

Fred Hutch, home of three Nobel Prize laureates, is an independent, nonprofit research institution dedicated to the development and advancement of biomedical technology to eliminate cancer and other potentially fatal diseases. The center grew out of the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation, founded in 1956 by William B. Hutchinson. The Foundation was dedicated to the study of heart surgery, cancer, and diseases of the endocrine system. In 1964, Dr. Hutchinson's brother Fred Hutchinson died of lung cancer. The next year, Dr. William Hutchinson established the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a division of the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation.

In 1972, with the help of Senator Warren G. Magnuson PNRF received federal funding under the National Cancer Act of 1971 to create in Seattle one of the 15 new NCI-designated Cancer Centers aimed at conducting basic research called for under 1971 Act; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center became independent 1972 and its building opened 3 years later.

The center was named an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1976. In 1998, the center formed the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), a separate nonprofit corporation,[9] with UW Medicine, and Seattle Children's. This solidified the center's reach into clinical care and was essential for it retaining its NCI comprehensive center designation; the designation was extended to the center's consortium including the SCCA in 2003.SCCA's outpatient clinic first opened in January 2001.

THE LOCATION

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Seattle is the largest city in both the State of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The metropolitan area of around 3.6 million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States.

Seattle is a coastal seaport city and the seat of King County, in the U.S. state of Washington, with an estimated 668,342 residents as of 2014. The city is situated on a narrow isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the 8th largest port in the United States and 9th largest in North America in terms of container handling.

With a total area of 83.9 square miles, Seattle is the northernmost city with at least 500,000 people in the United States, farther north than Canadian cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, at about the same latitude as Salzburg, Austria.

The topography of Seattle is hilly. The city lies on several hills, including Capitol Hill, First Hill, West Seattle, Beacon Hill, Magnolia, Denny Hill, and Queen Anne. The Kitsap and the Olympic peninsulas along with the Olympic Mountains lie to the west of Puget Sound, while the Cascade Range and Lake Sammamish lie to the east of Lake Washington. The city has over 5,540 acres (2,242 ha) of parkland.

Seattle's economy is driven by a mix of older industrial companies, and "new economy" Internet and technology companies, service, design and clean technology companies. The city's gross metropolitan product was $231 billion in 2010, making it the 11th largest metropolitan economy in the United States.

The Port of Seattle, which also operates Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, is a major gateway for trade with Asia and cruises to Alaska, and is the 8th largest port in the United States in terms of container capacity. Though it was affected by the Great Recession, Seattle has retained a comparatively strong economy, and remains a hotbed for start-

up businesses, especially in green building and clean technologies: it was ranked as America's No. 1 "smarter city" based on its government policies and green economy. In February 2010, the city government committed Seattle to becoming North America's first "climate neutral" city, with a goal of reaching zero net per capita greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

Large companies dominate the business landscape. Four companies of the United States' largest companies, are headquartered in Seattle: Internet retailer Amazon.com, coffee chain Starbucks, department store Nordstrom, and freight forwarder Expeditors International of Washington.

Seattle has been a regional center for the performing arts for many years. The century-old Seattle Symphony Orchestra is among the worlds most recorded and performs primarily at Benaroya Hall. The Seattle Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet, which perform at McCaw Hall are comparably distinguished, with the Opera being particularly known for its performances of the works of Richard Wagner and the PNB School ranking as one of the top three ballet training institutions in the United States. The Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestras (SYSO) is the largest symphonic youth organization in the United States.

The city also boasts lauded summer and winter chamber music festivals organized by the Seattle Chamber Music Society. Among Seattle's prominent annual fairs and festivals are the 24-day Seattle International Film Festival, Northwest Folklife over the Memorial Day weekend, numerous Seafair events throughout July and August and the art and music festival Bumbershoot, which programs music as well as other art and entertainment over the Labor Day weekend. All are typically attended by 100,000 people annually.

The University of Washington is consistently ranked among the country's top leading institutions in medical research, earning special merits for programs in neurology and neurosurgery. Seattle has seen local developments of modern paramedic services with the establishment of Medic One in 1970. One paramedic system called Seattle "the best place in the world to have a heart attack".

Three of Seattle's largest medical centers are located on First Hill. Harborview Medical Center, the public county hospital, is the only Level I trauma hospital in a region that includes Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. Virginia Mason Medical Center and Swedish Medical Center's two largest campuses are also located

in this part of Seattle, including the Virginia Mason Hospital. This concentration of hospitals resulted in the neighborhood's nickname "Pill Hill".

Located in the Laurelhurst neighborhood, Seattle Children's, formerly Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, is the pediatric referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has a campus in the Eastlake neighborhood. The University District is home to the University of Washington Medical Center which, along with Harborview, is operated by the University of Washington. Seattle is also served by a Veterans Affairs hospital on Beacon Hill, a third campus of Swedish in Ballard, and Northwest Hospital and Medical Center near Northgate Mall.

Seattle's mild, temperate marine climate allows year-round outdoor recreation, including walking, cycling, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, rock climbing, motor boating, sailing, team sports, and swimming. In town, many people walk around Green Lake, through the forests and along the bluffs and beaches of Discovery Park in Magnolia, along the shores of Myrtle Edwards Park on the Downtown waterfront, along the shoreline of Lake Washington at Seward Park, along Alki Beach in West Seattle, or along the Burke-Gilman Trail. Also popular are hikes and skiing in the nearby Cascade or Olympic Mountains and kayaking and sailing in the waters of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia.
