Case Study: Fred Hutch Cancer Center improves inclusive cancer care with Anthro-Tech

Fred Hutch Cancer Center improves inclusive oncology care with Anthro-Tech through 3 workshops and 6 interviews

Anthro-Tech partnered with Fred Hutch Cancer Center to address a major challenge: patients from marginalized communities were not receiving equitable, high-quality care. The institution needed to understand the unique needs and experiences of these patients to design a new inpatient oncology hospital and improve its existing services.

Anthro-Tech's solution involved conducting "research cafe" workshops and remote interviews with patients and caregivers from diverse backgrounds. This approach generated community maps, journey maps, and design principles. The impact was significant, providing Fred Hutch with actionable insights to create a more inclusive hospital. Patients felt heard, and Anthro-Tech's work set a new standard for equitable cancer care.
