PLTC and Cancer Institute of New Mexico Honor Physician
As a People’s Caring Award Recipient

People Living Through Cancer Inc. and the Cancer Institute of New Mexico honored Patrick H. Judson, M.D., a physician with the Cancer Institute, as one of five People’s Caring Award recipients. Bernadette Lujan, PLTC executive director, and Bob Mallin, M.D., a PLTC board member, formally presented the award to Dr. Judson in a ceremony on May 9, 2007.

The awards recognize the indomitable spirit of caregivers such as Dr. Judson, who has been described as “a living, breathing model of empathy, support and respect for cancer survivors and their families.” Dr. Judson, 56, moved to New Mexico in 2004 after 14 years as an Army physician and 10 years in North Platte, Neb.
