The [article on "Clinical Trials"] is exceptional in its content, clarity and common sense explanation about how to use the best science to evaluate screening tests. I plan to use the example of (the) National Lung Screening Trial, which is particularly clear, to warn against making the obvious leap from "finding something to actually diagnosing cancer and saving lives." I have provided a copy to our National Cancer Institute Media Office as a model for how to explain complex scientific concepts to the public.
Excellent!

You have truly captured the essence of who I am. Many thanks to the editorial staff for their interest in my story and many thanks to you for being such an empathic listener enabling you to write so thoughtfully -- to be the very best you can be.

Mary Roberts Henderson has been an invaluable asset to the RSNA newsroom. She is a consummate professional in her dealings with the press from first pitch to last follow-up. She knows what the media wants and is able to deliver. She has a knack for turning tough, scientific material into reader-friendly copy that gets the message across. If I need to hire a PR professional to turn out a top-notch press release in a hurry or staff the world's largest medical meeting, Mary's the first person I call.

During the nearly 10 years that I have known Mary both professionally and personally, I have never ceased to be impressed. For she is one of those rare professionals who can quickly assess the challenges, come up with solutions and follow through with high-quality results.
In addition, her communications-planning expertise, writing skills and attention to detail are top-notch matched only by her dedication, work ethic and customer service.
In short, I consider Mary to be my most trusted resource and highly recommend her—I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

(Mary) single-handedly directed the largest individual fundraising event and most lucrative fundraising year this school has ever had. Her attention to detail and expertise in delegation with follow up was amazing. The most significant event was a dinner and silent auction that raised more than $29,000.
I have attended many similar events but this one was spectacular. It was a totally class act. Mary gets all the credit. Mary also brought fresh ideas to the routine annual fundraising projects. Each one was approached with a new perspective and with great professionalism and each one increased their income significantly.
I have served on many boards of directors over the past three decades and have been the director of Bloomington Montessori School for over ten years and have not seen anyone as thorough, energetic, professional and creative in the approach to marketing and fundraising ever. She is exceptional.
