Dear Friends of Cooper, Welcome to the 2024 Red Hot Gala! We are thrilled to have you with us this evening and we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your loyal and generous support of Cooper University Health Care, MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper and The Cooper Foundation. Your commitment enables us to continue distinguishing ourselves as a leading academic health system in the region. As Cooper observes its 137th year of serving the community, we celebrate several exciting milestones. This summer, we proudly welcomed Cape Regional Health System into the Cooper family. This historic partnership marks a moment of great promise, as two anchor institutions join forces to better serve communities across South Jersey. We also eagerly anticipate the groundbreaking in a few short weeks of the first phase of our transformative $3 billion Camden campus expansion, which will further elevate Cooper’s service to the community. Tonight, we are especially honored to recognize Liz and Ron Jaworski for their incredible contributions to both the community and Cooper. Among their many community endeavors, Ron serves on the Cooper University Health Care Board, while Liz serves on The Cooper Foundation Board. As a cancer survivor, Liz is also deeply involved with the Pink Roses Teal Magnolias committee, supporting women facing breast and gynecological cancers. There is so much to celebrate this evening. In addition to our expansion projects, Cooper continues to set the standard for quality and service. For the fourth consecutive year, Cooper was named a Top In-State Employer by Forbes. This year, Cooper University Health Care was also recognized by U.S. News & World Report in their 2024-2025 Best Hospitals survey as one of the top 10 hospitals in New Jersey and a high-performing hospital nationally in 12 specialty services. Your partnership and generosity make it possible for Cooper to fulfill its mission: to serve, to heal, and to educate the people of this region. We sincerely thank you for your support and hope you enjoy this memorable evening. Sincerely,
George E. Norcross, III Chairman, Board of Trustees The Cooper Health System
