The 808 Market Street location in Camden offers a wide range of outpatient services allowing for improved and convenient patient care.
(CAMDEN, NJ) – Cooper University Health Care recently opened a new integrated care facility in which patients can see clinicians for a range of health care services, including treatment for substance use disorders, primary care, psychiatry, integrated child and adolescent behavioral health, addiction, and obstetrics and gynecological services. The new Cooper Multispecialty Care at Market Street encourages continuous and multidisciplinary care for Cooper’s patients, allowing greater care collaboration between several specialty services.
“It is very beneficial for patients receiving treatment for use disorders to have easy access to other high-quality care services,” said Rachel Haroz, MD, center head of Cooper’s Center for Healing. “Having these offices under one roof is more than a convenience for our patients. It greatly increases our ability as a care team to provide the care that our patients need and deserve.”
The space at 808 Market Street in downtown Camden is shared among several of Cooper University Health Care’s teams, including the Center for Healing (Cooper’s addiction medicine program) as well as the departments of psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, and family medicine. Furthering that holistic approach to care, the multispecialty center will be staffed by a team of expert patient navigators dedicated to helping patients meet needs and overcome challenges that may prevent them from attending appointments or otherwise continuing their care. The Center for Healing’s space also includes a clothing collection for patients, shower and laundry facilities, and computer stations, to further address barriers to common resources.
This new multidisciplinary center also supports a new initiative focused on adolescent behavioral health and addiction, a much-needed service across South Jersey. The involvement of Cooper’s obstetrics program is of particular benefit to the Center for Healing’s EMPOWR program, which provides addiction medicine for patients who are pregnant or parenting. This integration allows for early, low-barrier prenatal care and family planning resources.
