  – Michelle Love, Carol G. Simon Cancer Center patient

  – Willard Brown, Carol G. Simon Cancer Center patient

  – Thomas Grady, on behalf of Kathleen Grady, breast cancer patient

• “When I came home from the day’s surgery, I had on your blue ‘camisole,’ instead of the traditional white surgical binding…Overlook’s little blue camisole for me swells beyond its literal meaning into a metaphor for the thought-filled excellence and caring spirit that characterizes your facility.”
  – Linda Costanzo Cahir, breast cancer patient
  
  
• “I was recently a patient at Overlook for the Radiation Oncology treatment of my prostate with the CyberKnife...I believe that Overlook has a wonderful solution for a difficult and increasingly common problem and I will recommend it to anyone.”
