Does anyone know which centers in NC/GA/FL have both CK and GK? 
Thanks

My impression is that it is hard to find a GK center and a CK center within a mile of each other, let alone in the same building or center. They seem to be in competition with each other. Just think of it as more choices for us!

Steve, get this... Boston has Cyberknife at Beth Israel in downtown Boston.... GammaKnife at Tufts Medical Center, less than 15 min drive away....  and.... Brigham/Woman's (just 2 miles down the road from BI) has a CK on a purchase requisition... the competition is heating up in these parts..........anyone else know of CK and GK near to each other?

In Jacksonville, FL - the CK unit is at Memorial Hospital and the GK unit is at the radiation oncology clinic at Baptist.

In San Diego, GK center at UCSD (15 mins) and CK (5 minutes) from my house!

Fair is fair. We have a Gammaknife Center of Oregon here in Portland, and across the Columbia River, in Vancouver, WA, they just opened a new Cyberknife facility at the Southwest Washington Medical Center. According to Google, its about an 11 mile drive. I bet they aren't the best of buddies, though.
