Knowing that donations to the Cooper Red Hot Gala support our patients and our local community, why do you choose to give to Cooper?
Dr. Michael Chansky,
Chairman and Chief, Department of Emergency Medicine
:
My donations allow Cooper and Emergency Medicine to expand our procedural capabilities, offer collaborative opportunities, enhance faculty and resident engagement and wellness, and ultimately take the best care of our patients and the community.
Dr. Anthony Dragun,
Chairman and Chief, Department of Radiation Oncology
:
With so many options for giving in oncology, I prefer to give to The Cooper Foundation because I know that every dollar directly benefits our patients. We see this with our patients who benefit from transportation services supported by grants, improving their access to world-class care.
Dr. Francis R. Spitz,
Vice Chief, Department of Surgery
:
I know these donations will help support the medical care of our South Jersey community. These donations make a difference for our patients, allow us to initiate novel treatments, and provide amenities that improve our patient experience.

A Life of Service - A Legacy Lives On
|
Last month, Camden lost a true community hero. Msgr. Robert T. McDermott, "Father Bob" as most knew him, dedicated his life to serving Camden and its most vulnerable communities.
Fr. Bob grew up in East Camden and over the years, he saw once vibrant streetscapes deteriorate into abandoned homes and boarded up buildings.
In 1986, Fr. Bob founded Saint Joseph’s Carpenter Society (SJCS) with a simple mission to rebuild homes and transform lives. For the next 30 years, under Fr. Bob’s leadership, SJCS helped revitalize the neighborhood and encourage homeownership.
The Cooper Foundation
is fortunate to partner with SJCS to improve housing in the Cooper Plaza neighborhood near Cooper Hospital. The Cooper-St. Joseph’s partnership has led to residential façade improvements and safety repairs for 100 homes, rehabilitation of more than 55 homes for homeownership, and homebuyer education for neighborhood residents. We have seen first-hand the profound impact this work has on residents in our community and we are honored to continue Fr. Bob’s legacy with our ongoing housing partnership with SJCS.
