Our History
Comfort Project 360 was founded by Hyla Weiss and Suzanne Unger in 2014. Generous donations and community support have enabled CP 360 to fund meaningful renovations and to introduce important programs and amenities that support cancer care and patient wellbeing. In addition, CP 360’s showcase event, An Evening of Hope (formerly A Reason to Rock), celebrates members of the community who have made a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer as Hero of Hope (formerly Inspirational Journey) recipients. The timeline that follows captures CP 360’s inspirational impact on cancer care at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center.
Meet our Founders
Hyla Weiss
Livingston resident, Hyla Weiss, is a wife and mother and a breast cancer survivor. Hyla’s personal journey led her to co-found Comfort Project 360. Despite her positivity, Hyla found her cancer treatments emotionally taxing. She recognized the medical care she received was excellent but the experience could have been improved with simple changes. Understanding that the physical environment is an integral part of healing, Hyla began to focus her time on creating healing spaces and developing programs that harness the power of the mind-body connection.
Suzanne Unger
Livingston resident, Suzanne Unger’s mother and best friend, Renee
Greenwald, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 48. Suzanne
lost her mother to cancer six years later. Since that time, this wife
and mother of two, has been involved in cancer-related charities. She
chaired the American Cancer Society’s Diamond Ball, all to help
make a difference in the fight against cancer. Forever touched by cancer,
Suzanne recognized the value of a nurturing and supportive environment
in which to receive care.
