“This historic partnership will result in the most comprehensive neuroscience program in the region,” said Kevin O’Dowd, JD, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care. “We are proud to expand upon the multiple partnerships with Inspira and provide greater access to world-renowned experts in neuroscience.”

“We are excited to expand our partnership with Cooper into neuroscience,” said Elizabeth Ryan, Esq., board chair of Inspira Health. “Our work with Cooper fully supports our mission for improving access and elevating the patient experience. This partnership will benefit communities throughout South Jersey and beyond.”

“By combining the resources and expertise at Cooper and Inspira, we are extending this successful model to provide exceptional neurological care to more communities,” said Anthony Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care. “We are confident this venture will save lives and benefit many patients in need of complex neurological care.”
