In a press release this morning, The National Cancer Institute has awarded a $55.4 million, multiple-year contract to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to become the nation’s sole operator of its Cancer Information Service Contact Center.
Since Fred Hutchinson is located in Seattle, it looks like a few more jobs will be added to the local economy with the contract win.
