About the City of Camden
The City of Camden is located directly phillyskyline.jpgacross the Delaware River from Center City Philadelphia. It is approximately 8 square miles and is bordered on the west by some of the wealthiest towns in the state of New Jersey. Camden, itself, has a rich past which includes periods of prosperity rarely rivaled in our country’s history. Camden is the birthplace of recorded sound and the resting place of Walt Whitman.
The last few decades have been challenging for the city. While neighboring towns have flourished, Camden has been among the nation’s most dangerous cities and was recently crowned the poorest city in the country for its size. Cooper University Hospital, the city’s largest employer, plays a vital role in supporting this community. Cooper has several community outreach programs, many of which provide opportunities for housestaff to participate.
Cooper’s location provides residents, fellows and medical students with an incredible spectrum of patients. There is not only the mix of patients from the inner city and the suburbs, but also a nearby concert venue visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year, the Adventure Aquarium, and the fans of the Camden Riversharks Minor League Baseball team. More than a million people a year visit the Camden Waterfront, providing a stunning variety of cases in our emergency department and inpatient facilities.
Located a block from New Jersey Transit's Walter Rand Transportation Center, the Cooper Campus is a beautiful, safe facility that has grown substantially over the past decade. From the ten-story Roberts Pavilion and the new Cooper Medical School of Rowan University to the brand new MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper and meticulously landscaped grounds, the Cooper Health Sciences Campus is home to world-class facilities located just minutes from Philadelphia.
About the Region
Just across the bridge from bustling Philadelphia, and less than an hour from the tranquility of the Pine Barrens and activity of the Jersey shore, Cooper University Hospital is easy to access. The academic campus is located across the street from two commuter rail lines (PATCO and NJ Transit’s River Line) and within walking distance of Rutgers University and Rowan University Camden campuses.
The Cooper Health Sciences Campus is located in the heart of Camden’s business district. The academic medical center campus is easily accessible by car or public transportation via the commuter high-speed line and bus terminal adjacent to the hospital.
Cooper is a short walk or drive from the exciting Camden waterfront, which includes a magnificent waterfront park and marina; the Adventure Aquarium; and the BB&T amphitheater, which hosts nationally renowned entertainment throughout the year. Nearby are the Sixers Training Complex, L3 Communications complex, Lockheed Martin, Rutgers University Camden Campus, and Camden County College.
There are expected to be $350M in transportation and infrastructure improvements within the next four to five years to handle the influx of thousands of new employees to the area and students at nearby growing academic campuses.
Cooper is conveniently close to Philadelphia. Just a mile-long drive over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge will put you at the doorstep of Philadelphia’s cultural, culinary, and historic venues. South Jersey also offers a range of living and entertainment options. Quaint towns such as Haddonfield and Collingswood are just 10 minutes away. The lights and action of Atlantic City and popular beach towns such as Cape May and Ocean City are a one-hour drive from Cooper.
