Cathy Boll
Owner/CEO
ABC & BOC Board Certified Mastectomy Fitter & Compression Therapy Advanced Fitter
Cathy’s vision for Benchmark Atlantic Healthcare was for women to have a place available to them that was peaceful, calming, private and pretty, while being professionally fitted for their bras, breast forms and lymphedema compression garments following breast cancer surgery. In 2004, she earned both Board Certification as a Mastectomy Fitter by the Board of Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics (BOC) and a Registered Mastectomy Fitter with the American Board of Certification of Orthotics and Prosthetics (ABC). She also has been trained and certified as a Compression Therapy Advanced Fitter through the leading manufacturers of compression garments.
“These words written by a client best encompass what we strive to accomplish at Benchmark Atlantic Healthcare each and every day….” ‘The patient really counts in your business model and the people on your staff are amazing…. I feel so lucky to have been referred there and so enjoyed my visit. You, your staff, your office and business culture are a blessing for breast cancer patients…you have created an oasis; thank you.’

Claudia Ovington
Certified Breast Care & COMPRESSION Fitter
Claudia was first a client at Benchmark’s and then became a staff member in 2013. She had helped manage a medical office for 20 years before her breast cancer diagnosis. Following surgery and treatment, she was frustrated with how her under garments were fitting and missed activities because she felt uncomfortable. Then she found Benchmark and was “pleasantly surprised at how quiet, beautiful and relaxing the shop was.” She met with Marcia, her Breast Care Fitter and they found the perfect solution, as well as becoming new friends, and immediately she felt like she had gained back her confidence. She was so impressed she asked for a job.
Because of her enthusiasm, love for life, and her intuitive insight and understanding, she has been a joy to our clients as well as our staff. Claudia keeps us laughing. She has successfully completed her breast care fitting certifications. Her clients let us know how happy she has made them on a continual basis. Side note: Claudia seems to know just about everyone in town!
“It is such an honor to help other women going through similar situations as I had.”
