Generosa Grana, MD
Director, MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper
What three words come to your mind when you think of Cooper?
Community, Commitment, Diversity
Knowing that donations to the Cooper Red Hot Gala support our patients and our local community, why do you choose to give to Cooper?
Who inspired you to become a doctor?
I was born in Northern Spain and moved to the United States when I was a young girl. I was inspired by the doctor who served our remote community. I was also inspired by my paternal grandfather who had a 6th grade education, but was known as a healer in our village. Both touched people at key points in their life and were respected by the community.

Cooper Spotlight: Amanda & Lou DiMattia
|
Amanda and Lou DiMattia work together, live together, and give together -- and they are happy to do all three. This husband and wife team are members of the 2019 Cooper Red Hot Gala Host Committee.
“Lou and I proudly support Cooper University Health Care,” states Amanda. “Giving to Cooper is a family tradition.”
Amanda was born and raised in South Jersey and credits her father, Michael Hartung, a member of the Cooper Foundation's Board of Trustees, with instilling in her the importance of giving back to the community. “When I was 8 years old, my friend was helped by Cooper,” remembers Amanda. “That’s when my dad began supporting Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper and I promised him that I would continue his legacy.”
