Cooper University Health Care

Shanah Tovah! Happy Rosh Hashanah to all those celebrating, from our Cooper Family to yours ❤️

Our Cooper Vein Center in Voorhees, NJ, has been granted accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) in Superficial Venous Treatment and Management! Well done, Cooper Team! “The prestigious IAC Vein Center Accreditation is a significant achievement for our Division of Vascular Surgery,” said Francis R. Spitz, MD, FACS, chairman and chief of Cooper’s Department of Surgery. “It is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team in providing exceptional care for our patients. We are proud to be recognized by such a respected body and are honored to offer our patients the assurance of quality care that this ‘seal of approval’ represents.” More than half of Americans aged 50 and older are affected by varicose veins, a condition where blood pools in the leg veins due to malfunctioning valves. This can progress to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in some cases. The treatment of varicose veins requires specialized evaluation and management, and the IAC accreditation ensures that Cooper meets the rigorous standards for quality care.

For physicians who pursue academic medicine, advancing from instructor to full professor involves a commitment to research, writing, speaking, and teaching.

Amanda Burden, MD is an anesthesiologist and Vice Chair of Faculty Affairs and Development for the Department of Anesthesiology at Cooper, as well as Professor of Anesthesiology and Assistant Dean for Clinical Skills and Simulation Education at CMSRU.

While Sepsis Awareness Month ends today, the mission to spread awareness and education about sepsis prevention, detection, treatment, and recovery continues every day. At Cooper, this work is driven by our Sepsis Committee, who work tirelessly with our team members at every level and location to better understand sepsis and its impact on our patients. Thank you to this team and those who work with them for their commitment to keeping our patients safe and healthy.
