The celebrations are a longstanding Veterans Day tradition, bringing together team members, veterans, and active-duty military members to honor those who have served our nation and continue that tradition of service through their work in health care.<\/p>\n<p>Dominick\u2019s lifetime of service began when he voluntarily enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 18. Following specialized military training, he served as a corrections officer at Camp Pendleton and earned a meritorious promotion to corporal after only 18 months. His military service was recognized with the National Defense Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal.<\/p>\n<p>Following his military service, Dominick continued his commitment to public service during a 24-year career as a Philadelphia police officer, including 14 years as an undercover narcotics investigator. He remains active in supporting fellow veterans as a lifelong member of American Legion Post 510.<\/p>\n<p>Today, as a security officer stationed at the patient entrance of Cooper Norcross University Hospital Cape Regional, Dominick is often among the first people patients and families encounter. Known for remembering visitors by name, asking about their loved ones, and taking the time to help people navigate the hospital, he brings compassion and a reassuring presence to his role. His more than five decades of service to his country, community, patients, and colleagues embody Cooper Norcross Health\u2019s values of Compassion, Inclusion, and Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>After serving honorably in the United States Army, Stockton-Brown attended Cooper Medical School of Rowan University and trained as an internal medicine resident at Cooper Norcross University Hospital. She was named Resident of the Year (PGY3) earlier this year, then completed her residency and joined the health system as a hospitalist.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her time at Cooper, Stockton-Brown has distinguished herself as a physician, mentor, community advocate, and colleague. She has volunteered with Population Health initiatives, including winter coat and towel drives for local shelters, health fairs, and community health screenings aimed at addressing practical needs and expanding access to preventive care for underserved communities.<\/p>\n<p>As co-chair of the Graduate Medical Education Belonging Committee, Stockton-Brown has helped foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for trainees, organizing culturally affirming events and activities that encourage connection and understanding across teams. She also mentors medical students and residents and has helped develop opportunities to support resident research and scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>Patients and colleagues have consistently recognized Stockton-Brown for her compassion, selflessness, professionalism, and willingness to help others. Her contributions have earned her the Commitment to Service Award and other honors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRich and Melissa represent what it means to serve,\u201d said George E. Norcross III, chairman of Cooper Norcross Health. \u201cTheir commitment did not end with their military service. It continues through the compassion they show our patients, the support they provide to their colleagues, and the difference they make in our communities. We are extraordinarily proud to have them as members of the Cooper Norcross Health family and grateful to all of our veterans and military members for their service to our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMilitary service develops qualities that translate powerfully to health care, including leadership, teamwork, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to others,\u201d said Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, co-CEO of Cooper Norcross Health. \u201cMelissa and Rich demonstrate those qualities every day in very different roles, but with the same fundamental purpose: helping people when they need it most. They are outstanding examples of Cooper Norcross Health\u2019s mission to serve, to heal, and to educate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Armed Forces Persons of the Year represent the very best of Cooper Norcross Health,\u201d said Kevin O\u2019Dowd, JD, co-CEO of Cooper Norcross Health. \u201cRich and Melissa have each built a remarkable record of service, first to our country and now to our patients, colleagues, and communities. We congratulate them on this well-deserved honor and thank them, along with all of our veterans and active-duty military team members, for their continued leadership and service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Established in 2018, the Cooper Armed Forces Person of the Year Award is presented annually in conjunction with Veterans Day to recognize Cooper team members who have made exceptional contributions to the health system, their communities, and the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The recognition reflects Cooper Norcross Health\u2019s longstanding commitment to supporting the United States military, veterans, and their families, while celebrating team members whose military service continues to influence the care, leadership, and service they provide every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Cooper Norcross Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cooper Norcross Health, formerly Cooper University Health Care, is a leading academic health system affiliated with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.
