By air:

Clearly, Newark International Airport is the best choice. It is a large facility with international flights and not very far from our main office. Most airlines have routes to Newark International. Continental has a major presence at that location and thus many direct flights. There are many hotels in and around the airport.
From the airport to Overlook Hospital, follow signs to
 Rt.22 West and watch carefully as there are many quick (but labeled) turns through the maze of highways that converge on the airport. As the commercial area thins going west, Summit Rd. is on the right just past a gas station. It takes you up a steep hill. Just follow the signs from there (at the top of the hill of Summit Rd., you can see the Hospital on the next close hill top).
