Mission
Formed in May 2003 as an informal organization of CyberKnife facilities and formally incorporated in April 2005, the CyberKnife Coalition, Inc. (CKC) is pending a non-profit recognition as a [501(c) 6] corporation of CyberKnife user institutions, dedicated to protecting patients’ access to this life-saving technology by working to ensure accurate and adequate reimbursement through educational, payer, and government advocacy.

 

Purpose
To promote patient access to CyberKnife technology and treatment, and realize reimbursement to support that treatment.
