An alumnus of Texas A&M University-Commerce, Adam McCroskie serves as a marketing representative for Heritage Premium Assignment Company while studying for his MA in accounting at his alma mater. As a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity at Texas A&M University-Commerce, Adam McCroskie raised funds for the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
HCI recently opened the Center for Health Outcomes and Population Equity (HOPE), whose mission is to combat the prevalence of cancer among underserved populations. These groups include American Indian and Alaska natives, people from rural and other economically challenged areas, members of the LGBTQ community, and Hispanics, all of whom have disproportionately high cancer rates.
HOPE will offer mobile services to outlying areas in the Mountain West, address tobacco use, and mentor scientists from underrepresented groups. It will work alongside the Association for Utah Community Health and the Utah Department of Health.
The facility features patient examination rooms, storage space for tissue samples, and offices for faculty. Supporting it is a $9.7 million grant from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, a Washington DC-based nonprofit.
