Subaru of America has once again reaffirmed its commitment to the Camden community with a generous $30,000 donation to The Cooper Foundation.
This is Subaru’s fourth consecutive year of offering support that helps eliminate barriers to care by providing durable medical equipment and reliable roundtrip transportation for patients served by Cooper University Health Care.
The funding directly supports patients in Camden with medical equipment often not covered by insurance, such as:
- blood pressure monitors
- glucometers
- wheelchairs
- walkers
These tools empower patients, especially those with chronic conditions, to manage their health safely at home and reduce avoidable hospital visits.
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’s Transitional Care and resident-run clinics.
“Our work simply wouldn’t be possible without corporate champions like Subaru,” Philip Norcross, Esq., chairman of The Cooper Foundation Board, said. “This grant will remove real-world obstacles for many of our most vulnerable patients. We’re proud to continue building a shared vision for a healthier Camden—together.”
“Subaru is not just a corporate partner, but a true neighbor demonstrating care for the Camden community,” Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care said. “Their consistent support directly strengthens the health and well-being of Camden residents.”
“Subaru’s 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,” Kevin O’Dowd, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care, said.
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’s Regional Hospital at Cooper, and longtime sponsorship of The Cooper Foundation’s Pink Roses & Teal Magnolias event for women’s cancer programs.
