South Jersey residents have voted, and for the seventh straight year Cooper University Hospital has received the Consumer Choice Award from the National Research Corporation (NRC). The 2011/2012 award identifies hospitals which consumers have chosen as having the highest quality of care in the region.

Each year, the National Research Corporation surveys 250,000 homes nationally to identify the nation’s top hospitals. The award is based on consumer responses in four categories:

• Best Doctors
• Best Nurses
• Best Image and Reputation
• Best Overall Quality of care

Cooper joins other nationally renowned hospitals such as Massachusetts General Hospital, The Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and Johns Hopkins in receiving this award.

Each of you plays an important role in the care of our patients, and awards such as this prove that we are truly making a positive difference in the lives of our patients and  their families.

Thank you for your continued commitment to providing the highest level of care for our patients.
