On Jun. 16, 1998, University of Washington Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children’s announced the formation of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA).

SCCA opened its first outpatient clinic in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood in 2001. It grew from a single location to a network of treatment centers in the Puget Sound region encompassing hematology/medical oncology, radiation oncology and infusion outpatient services. It also has network affiliations with hospitals in five states, connecting community-based physicians with the latest cancer research and treatment options from SCCA to elevate cancer care in the community.
