CAMDEN – Cooper University Health Care recently announced plans for a new multi-specialty outpatient campus in Gloucester Township, a $300 million investment that will expand access to advanced specialty care services for residents across the region.
The nearly 184,000-square-foot, five-story Gloucester Township Campus will be built on 39 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to Route 42 near the Gloucester Premium Outlets. The state-of-the-art outpatient facility will be larger than Cooper’s Moorestown facility, making it the health system’s largest ambulatory campus. It is designed to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care in a modern and convenient setting while bringing more than 400 new health care jobs to the region.
“This new campus represents Cooper’s continued commitment to investing in the health and well-being of the communities we serve,” Cooper Board of Trustees Chairman George E. Norcross III said in a release. “As South Jersey continues to grow, so does the need for greater access to high-quality specialty care close to home. This project will transform health care access in the region while creating hundreds of jobs and generating long-term economic growth for Gloucester Township and surrounding communities.”
“Cooper University Health Care’s investment in Gloucester Township is a powerful vote of confidence in New Jersey’s future,” NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill said. “This new campus will expand access to high-quality health care, create hundreds of good-paying jobs, and strengthen the region’s economy for years to come. As New Jersey continues to grow, investments like this ensure families have access to excellent health care close to home while driving opportunity and innovation throughout our communities.”
The Gloucester Township Campus will expand access to Cooper’s nationally recognized specialty services and provide patients with advanced outpatient care in a more convenient and cost-effective setting.
“This new campus is part of Cooper’s commitment to delivering exceptional care in a lower cost setting that is closer to where patients live,” said Kevin O’Dowd, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care. “By expanding the number of outpatient facilities, we are improving access to patient care, enhancing convenience for patients and families, and strengthening the delivery of health care throughout southern New Jersey.”
Project design is expected to begin in mid-2026 and continue through mid-2027, with state and local approvals anticipated between late 2026 and fall 2027. Construction is projected to begin in mid-2027 and conclude by the end of 2028, with the first patients expected to be welcomed in spring 2029.
The facility is planned to include:
• Advanced specialty exam suites for cardiology, neurology, oncology, OB-GYN, orthopedics, urology, pulmonary, pain management, and additional specialties.
• An MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper suite featuring radiation oncology and infusion services.
• A next-generation radiology suite equipped with advanced diagnostic imaging technology.
• A dedicated procedural suite for digestive health.
• A modern ambulatory surgery center designed for seamless outpatient care.
Cooper’s investment in Gloucester Township reflects the health system’s broader growth across South Jersey.
Construction continues on Phase 1 of Cooper’s more than $3 billion expansion in Camden, further strengthening its role as the region’s leading academic health system. Beyond Camden, Cooper continues to expand access to advanced specialty care through major outpatient campuses in Voorhees, Moorestown, and Cherry Hill, while also investing in infrastructure, programs, and services at Cooper University Hospital Cape Regional in Cape May Court House to strengthen care access across Cape May County.
