Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute

Founded in 1984, the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute is a center of excellence at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. The institute was renamed in 2007 to honor the memory of the late Arkansas Lt. Gov. Winthrop P. Rockefeller, who died of a rare bone marrow disorder that can lead to leukemia. A 300,000-square-foot, 12-story expansion to the Cancer Institute opened in August 2010 and includes a large infusion clinic for patients to receive chemotherapy.
