HeroCare Connect is a partnership of Deborah Heart and Lung Center and Cooper University Health Care serving veterans, active duty, and retired military and their families. This program combines the expertise in over 75 specialties of Deborah Heart and Lung Center and Cooper University Health Care with state-of-the-art hospital facilities and outpatient locations, offering broad access to services throughout Southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Since March 2020, WRI, along with consultants who bring expertise on the population and legislative aspect of this project, have been assisting with aligning the program goals with the MISSION Act to become a model of specialty health care service for veterans, active duty, and retired military in the area. WRI will collect and analyze data, conduct focus groups with direct-care staff, and assist in drafting a sustainability plan. This work is funded by the Nicholson Foundation and continues through January 2021.
