<\/p>\nSubaru of America, Inc. has once again reaffirmed its commitment to the Camden community with a generous $30,000 donation to The Cooper Foundation. Now in its fourth consecutive year, this support\u2014part of the automaker\u2019s Subaru Loves to Care\u00ae initiative\u2014helps eliminate barriers to care by providing durable medical equipment and reliable roundtrip transportation for patients served by Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The funding directly supports patients in Camden with medical equipment often not covered by insurance, such as blood pressure monitors, glucometers, scales, wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. These tools empower patients, especially those with chronic conditions, to manage their health safely at home and reduce avoidable hospital visits.<\/p>\n
In 2024 alone, this partnership served 402 Camden residents, delivering 24,780 individual pieces of medical equipment and 990 transportation rides to 230 patients. The program reached patients through trusted Cooper programs and clinics, including the Urban Health Institute, the Cooper Rowan Clinic for uninsured residents, the Center for Population Health, the Maternal\/Infant Unit, OB-GYN Triage, and Cooper\u2019s Transitional Care and resident-run clinics.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur work simply wouldn\u2019t be possible without corporate champions like Subaru,\u201d said Philip A. Norcross, Esq., Chairman of The Cooper Foundation Board. \u201cThis grant will remove real-world obstacles for many of our most vulnerable patients. We\u2019re proud to continue building a shared vision for a healthier Camden\u2014together.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSubaru is not just a corporate partner, but a true neighbor demonstrating care for the Camden community,\u201d said Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir consistent support directly strengthens the health and well-being of Camden residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSubaru\u2019s support helps us provide essential medical care beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics to meet patients where they are, ensuring they get the care they need when they need it,\u201d added Kevin M. O\u2019Dowd, JD, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Subaru, we believe in showing up for our hometown,\u201d said Erica McLeod, corporate social responsibility manager, Subaru of America, Inc. \u201cThe Subaru Loves to Care initiative is about making a real difference, and this partnership with Cooper puts that promise into action by directly impacting people\u2019s lives right here in Camden.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the years, Subaru of America, Inc. has supported numerous Cooper initiatives, including the donation of four emergency vehicles to Cooper EMS, contributions to the Children\u2019s Regional Hospital at Cooper, and longtime sponsorship of The Cooper Foundation\u2019s Pink Roses & Teal Magnolias event for women\u2019s cancer programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
