A Heartfelt Thank You From Dr. Margot Burnell
Medical Oncologist, Greater Saint John Area, Horizon Health Network

For Dr. Margot Burnell, cancer care is deeply personal. Every day, she and her team walk beside patients through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
“We don’t just treat cancer – we care for people.” she says. “Thanks to caring people like you, we’re able to meet each patient where they are and stand by them, every step of the way.”
“Gifts from our caring community transform care,” Dr. Burnell notes. From advanced lab equipment and radiation therapy upgrades to simple comforts like inviting waiting room seating and programs that support the emotional well-being of patients and families.
Dr. Burnell dreams of a future where cancer is no longer a threat. Until then, she’s committed to growing the Cancer Support Program, which provides essential services to patients and loved ones, helping them navigate the emotional and practical challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
“I’m so grateful for the donors who stand with us. Your support helps us deliver world-class care with compassion and makes the journey a little easier, a little lighter for so many.”
Dr. Burnell’s message to you is this: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
