Diversity at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
is not just important, it's essential. Valuing diversity promotes creative and intellectual vigor, creates an environment in which everyone feels respect and acceptance, and increases our ability to serve our community by attracting and retaining the best possible people. Diversity enriches our research, our science, the communities in which we live and work, and the lives of our employees.
