\"\"MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper<\/a> has expanded cancer services in the region with the opening of a new 13,000 square-foot multi-service outpatient unit at its flagship Camden location. The new unit, constructed in previously vacant shell space on the center\u2019s top floor, offers a range of diagnostic and treatment service suites to expand and complement existing services at the cancer center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we partnered with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston almost a decade ago, we knew our partnership would quickly grow to become the number one choice of consumers in the region by offering outstanding comprehensive cancer services. This expansion, which will offer multi-service outpatient care, demonstrates that our commitment to cancer patients is only growing and strengthening,” said George E. Norcross III, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Cooper Health System, Cooper University Hospital, and MD Anderson at Cooper.<\/p>\n
