A Celebration of Life event brought smiles to pediatric trauma patients, their families, and Cooper staff. On Saturday, September 14, Cooper celebrated the resiliency and triumphs of pediatric patients who have received care in the pediatric trauma program. Michael H. Goodman, MD, Chief and Chairman of Pediatrics, and Nicole M. Fox, MD, Pediatric Trauma Medical Director, welcomed guests who then enjoyed a Super Hero-themed event with activities for children of all ages and a picnic-style lunch. Cooper staff enjoyed seeing their patients and families from the past two years.
The parents of patient Jake Disimine gave a heartfelt speech about their experience and thanked Cooper staff for their support during their son’s stay.
This event’s success was due to the support of the many people and departments that donated raffle baskets, created arts and crafts activities, and so much more!
Thank you to everyone that helped, including:
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University medical students
