Dear Cooper Team:
We hope everyone is having a good week. Thank you for all you are doing to care for our patients, community, and each other. For those team members celebrating Eid al-Fitr this week, we wish you and your family Eid Mubarak.
What You Should Know This Week:
- Extraordinary Care – The Cooper Difference. There are many things that set Cooper apart – our tremendous trauma team is one of those things. In a remarkable and high-pressure situation, the pediatric trauma, neurosurgery, pediatric anesthesia, and operating room teams collaborated to save two young patients who had sustained serious brain injuries in separate sledding accidents.
