Meet Your Care Team

At the heart of your care is a team of TTUHSC experts, each focusing on specific types of cancer. They bring not just knowledge, but a deep sense of dedication to each patient they serve.

Thomas E. Hutson, DO, Pharm.D., Ph.D., FACP AND Chief, Hematology Oncology Division in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine

“I am incredibly confident in the expertise of the oncology faculty we have assembled to lead the new cancer center. We share a singular vision with UMC and TTUHSC: to establish a regional destination cancer program. Our goal is to ensure that patients in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico no longer have to endure a five-hour drive to receive the expert, tertiary cancer care they deserve.”
