Dear Cooper Team:
We hope everyone is having a healthy, safe, and productive week. Thank you for all you do for our patients and each other.
What You Should Know This Week:
- U.S. News & World Report’s 2023-2024 Best Hospitals survey was released yesterday and once again, Cooper was named one of the top 10 hospitals in New Jersey and the Philadelphia region. Cooper also ranked as a high-performing hospital nationally in 11 specialty services. This is the third year in a row that Cooper has been ranked as a Top Hospital in the region and the fifth year we have achieved high-performing rankings. Additionally, our partner, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, was named No. 1 in the nation for cancer care in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals” annual ranking.
