How to send flowers to a patient at Cooper
- Confirm the patient is admitted and which unit they are on. Call the main number, 856-342-2000, and ask; the unit determines whether flowers are allowed.
- Order online with the hospital's street address. Use One Cooper Plaza, Camden, NJ 08103, not a P.O. box.
- Add the patient's full legal name and the unit or room. Put it in the recipient name and delivery-instructions fields so the information desk can route it.
- Order in the morning. Patients are often discharged before noon; an early same-day order has the best chance of arriving in time.
- Include your phone number. The florist calls you if the patient has moved or been discharged, so the delivery can be redirected.
About Cooper
Cooper University Hospital was renamed Cooper Norcross University Hospital in September 2026, when its parent system became Cooper Norcross Health. The address, phone number and website did not change. It is a 663-bed academic hospital and South Jersey's only Level I trauma center, with a children's hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper on the same campus.
Maternity, neonatal intensive care, pediatric and pediatric intensive care, adult critical care, behavioral health and hospice units are all on the Camden campus.
Cooper flower policy
Cooper's visitor guidelines allow flowers in all patient areas except the critical care units, Pavilion 5, and any room with an immunocompromised patient. Latex balloons are prohibited because of latex allergies; Mylar balloons are acceptable.
As at most hospitals, flowers are generally welcome on medical, surgical, maternity and rehabilitation floors and not permitted in intensive-care units or rooms with immunocompromised patients. Latex balloons are usually banned; Mylar balloons are fine. If you are unsure which unit the patient is on, call the hospital and ask before ordering.

Visiting hours and arriving at Cooper
Most adult units allow two visitors from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and visitors must be 15 or older. Critical care pauses visiting from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Behavioral health has a short evening slot on weekdays and afternoon and evening slots on weekends. On the Mother-Infant Unit the support person can stay around the clock and other visitors come between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Visitors get a pass at the information desk in the main lobby, in the Roberts Pavilion, and need a government photo ID. The attached garage has entrances on Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard at South 6th Street and on Benson Street, with an indoor hallway to the lobby. The hospital suggests 246 South 6th Street for GPS.
Gift shop at Cooper
The first-floor gift shop, Lori's Gifts, is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends, but Cooper's site says sales of flowers and live plants there are temporarily unavailable. Until that changes, flowers have to come from an outside florist or arrive with a visitor.
What to send to a hospital room
- Compact vase arrangement, low fragrance, in a stable non-glass container: fits a crowded bedside table.
- Bright gerbera daisies or sunflowers: cheerful, scent-free and sturdy.
- A small flowering plant: goes home with the patient and keeps giving.
- Mylar balloon bouquet: the fallback when the unit does not allow flowers.
