It starts with the Chairman of the Board, George Norcross, who has stood tall in this community and with this medical center and beyond for decades,\u201d Governor Murphy stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very proud of how this state has conducted itself and the way in which our leadership, under Governor Murphy, have come together to make the people of New Jersey feel that honest, hardworking people are attempting to keep them safe and secure. I want to thank Governor Murphy for his leadership,\u201d said George E. Norcross, III, Chairman of Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Birx emphasized the need for vulnerable individuals to be put on therapeutic drugs as early as possible once symptoms appear, for more creative ideas to test younger people to prevent the spread, and the data showing how the second wave has spread throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank Cooper for all the work you have done through this pandemic. We rely on you as the Southern New Jersey Coordination Center and being able to call you with questions. You did things down here that we were able to share to Central and North Jersey,\u201d said Commissioner Persichilli.<\/p>\n<p>Also joining the roundtable were Cooper\u2019s Chairman of the Board, George E. Norcross, III, Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli, Co-CEO of Cooper, Orion Clarke, Director of Environmental Services at Cooper, Dr. Eric Kupersmith, Chief Physician Executive who is leading the regional coordination in South Jersey, Dr. Raquel Nahra, Cooper\u2019s Hospital Epidemiologist and Infectious Disease physician, and Dr. Joseph Montella, Cooper\u2019s Chief Medical Officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, December 11, 2020, Cooper University Health Care, the region\u2019s leading academic health system, hosted Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judy\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
