Waterfront Parking
- Added an additional shuttle in the morning rotation from 6-7:30am effective September 2018. Providing this additional shuttle has virtually eliminated wait times in the morning. Shuttle cycle times with no delays on most days and when there are wait times they do not exceed 3-4 minutes.
- Cooper University Health Care, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, and the Camden County Improvement Authority are actively working together on a project to provide additional and convenient staff parking for the medical school and the health system. Leadership and staff will be updated as this project evolves (Fall 2020 solution)
- Cooper is also exploring more immediate options to add available space in the CCIA garage with the intention of moving additional staff up from the waterfront garage.
Cafeteria Prices
- We are currently doing a market basket analysis to see how our prices compare to other health care institutions and the retail market. Early indications are that our prices are competitive within our market, with most being less expensive. However, a few items are priced higher than the market that will be analyzed further. When the analysis is complete in February, we will share the results with our cafeteria customers.
- The cafeteria will continue to strive to be an affordable and convenient option for our employees and guests and will continue to explore ways to provide value to our customers.
- We are also exploring new options for mobile ordering and payment to provide an enhanced level of service and convenience. Stay tuned!
