Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper Makes Great Strides for March of Dimes Walk

Leave a Comment
More than 50 dedicated Team Cooper members from around Children’s Regional Hospital at Cooper (and friends and family members) joined together on Sunday, April 27, 2014, to walk Camden County's “March for Babies.” Sponsored by the New Jersey March of Dimes, the walk raises money to help the March of Dimes ensure healthy starts for premature infants. The combination of bake sales, a raffle basket auction, and personal donations helped Team Cooper raised nearly $5,000 to support this worthy cause in 2014.

You may see a small but mighty young man walking through Cooper’s halls on Wednesday, March 24. March of Dimes 2010 National Ambassador, seven-year-old Joshua Hoffman of Weston, Florida will visit Cooper’s level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) which cares for more than 300 premature and sick babies per year. It is a unit that Joshua and his family know all too well—he was born prematurely, weighing only 1 pound, 11 ounces. He fought hard to survive, spending 14 weeks in a newborn intensive care unit, where he received treatment for serious breathing, heart and vision problems.
