The mission of the Head and Neck Tumor Program is to provide the most comprehensive, advanced, and compassionate care to each patient while pursuing future goals of the control of head and neck cancer through research.

The program was started by Dr. F. Johnson Putney, who was the inaugural treasurer of the American Society for Head and Neck Surgery in 1955. Dr. Putney passed away in December 2004. His wife, Virginia, remains a consultant to the program. The F. Johnson Putney Annual Head and Neck Lectureship, which is now in its 21st year, honors an internationally renowned head and neck cancer clinician each year
