CAMDEN,
N.J., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a
commitment to furthering its partnership with Cooper
University Health Care and bolstering essential services for the
Camden community, Subaru of
America, Inc., has announced its continued support of $30,000 for durable medical equipment and
transportation services to continue to fuel Cooper's mission. This
donation, part of the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative, aims to
provide access to vital medical equipment to Camden City residents.
The funds are designated for durable medical equipment,
including blood pressure monitors, glucometers, scales,
wheelchairs, walkers, and canes to help patients manage their
chronic health conditions at home and prevent the need for
emergency department visits or hospitalizations. The funds will
also provide hundreds of Camden
residents with roundtrip transportation to assure patients who do
not have medical transport get to their appointments safely on time
to Cooper facilities.
"We are most grateful to our Camden neighbor, Subaru, for their support of
Cooper over the years. We look forward to our continued partnership
as we work together to be a positive force in Camden's growth and prosperity," said
Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE,
co-CEO of Cooper.
"This generous contribution by Subaru to Cooper's community
programs demonstrates our shared commitment to addressing health
care disparities and making a tangible transformation in the lives
and health of patients living in Camden," said Kevin M.
O'Dowd, JD, co-CEO of Cooper.
"Being able to assist in Cooper's dedicated efforts to helping
our Camden community get and stay
healthy is exactly what Subaru Loves to Care is all about," said
Erica McLeod, corporate social
responsibility manager, Subaru of America, Inc. "Too many neighbors
with chronic health conditions can experience unexpected
out-of-pocket costs associated with medical treatments, and this
funding should alleviate some of the burdens on our community
members most in need."
The Subaru Loves to Care initiative is the health-focused
philanthropic pillar of the Subaru Love Promise. Cooper has been
the recipient of numerous charitable donations from Subaru over the
years. The automaker has previously donated four vehicles to the
Cooper EMS program, provided funding to the Children's Regional
Hospital at Cooper and contributed to The Cooper Foundation's Pink
Roses Teal Magnolias event for women's cancer.
"Without corporate partners such as Subaru in our community, we
could not do what we do at Cooper," said Lisa Morina, senior vice president and chief
philanthropy officer at The Cooper Foundation. "We are most
grateful for the ongoing collaboration between our two
organizations to help make a meaningful impact in the lives of our
Cooper patients and the communities we serve."
The donations to Cooper are part of Subaru Loves to Care, the
health-focused philanthropic pillar of the automaker's Love Promise vision to show love and
respect to all people at every interaction with Subaru. To learn
