It's our absolute pleasure to honor the doctors in our community that are having a lasting impact on fighting cancer and providing the education and support that patients need. Dr. Wendt is absolutely one of those doctors and we couldn't be more proud to honor him this year with the Edgar H. Hernandez Humanitarian Award.

We are blown away by your impact, Dr. Wendt! Thank you for all that you do!

Let's reach new heights together! 🚀 Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.
