Camden, NJ - According to Beth Fitzgerald, "The new Janet Knowles Breast Cancer Center opened this week at the MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper in Camden. Cooper said in the first year since MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper opened, the cancer program has experienced more than 26 percent growth in new patients seeking specialized cancer services. This led to the decision to use existing shell space within the MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper to create the new breast cancer center."
The center is dedicated to Janet Knowles of Moorestown, a breast cancer survivor and philanthropist who donated $5 million to advance Cooper’s breast cancer program seven years ago.
“We are extremely grateful to Janet and her support which helps us continue to meet the growing needs of breast cancer patients in our region,” said Adrienne Kirby, chief executive of Cooper University Health Care. “She has been a strong advocate, working with us to create programs that encompass the entire journey for a breast cancer patient, from diagnosis through survivorship. Her focus is always about presenting a healing environment for patients.”
