(CAMDEN, NJ)<\/strong> \u2013 Cooper University Health Care has launched a Mobile Unit as part of its Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Program, designed to meet the unique health care needs of individuals with IDD. The innovative unit delivers high-quality, compassionate primary care directly to patients\u2019 homes, community residences, and group homes across Southern New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Developed in response to the growing demand for accessible, person-centered care, the Mobile Unit helps remove barriers that often make traditional office visits challenging for individuals with IDD. By bringing care directly to patients, the program ensures comprehensive primary care in a familiar, supportive environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program reflects Cooper\u2019s commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and excellence in care for one of our most vulnerable populations,\u201d said Franziska Jovin, senior vice president and chief experience officer at Cooper. \u201cBy meeting patients where they are, we aim to reduce stress, minimize missed appointments and emergency room visits, and improve overall health outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mobile Unit partners closely with each patient\u2019s established Cooper primary care provider to deliver coordinated, seamless care. Services include routine health assessments, sick visits, chronic condition management, preventive screenings, medication management, post-hospitalization follow-up, and health education for patients and caregivers.<\/p>\n
