We are happy to congratulate Dr. Justin Budnik, Radiation Oncologist at Samaritan’s Walker Center for Cancer Care, for his Heart to Heart Grateful Patient recognition.

The Heart to Heart Grateful Patient Program allows patients, residents and their families and friends to show gratitude, through a monetary gift made to the Foundation, to an individual or a department that played a special role in their care. A donor’s gift not only recognizes the service and care they received, but it also helps to extend the same quality of care to others by investing in our health system.
