About the Cooper University Hospital Nurses and the Cooper Challenge:
The nurses from Cherry Hill, NJ’s Cooper University Hospital are disciplined and dedicated professionals when it comes to caring for patients and their families. These strong women, however, have developed poor habits and neglect their own health, including using food to cope with stress, which is a common occurrence in the high pressure healthcare profession. Four nurses from the hospital were selected for a “Revolution” journey with the goal of creating their own healthier lifestyle
habits. Christina Fox, a Trauma Nurse in the ICU, not only saves lives at work but runs a house with two children under the age of seven. As a result of her nonstop schedule, Christina has a difficult time maintaining a balanced diet and needs a fresh start. Stephanie Jennings, a Senior Nurse in the Oncology Unit, is ready to become a positive example for her overweight husband and act as a role model for her daughter. Newlywed Delia Larson, a Labor and Delivery Nurse, is in need of a lifestyle change prior to having kids of her own. She is a motivated to tackle the hardships at hand and get her diet back on track. Single mother and full-time ICU Nurse Ebony Marinnie recently left a tumultuous relationship and is ready to regain her confidence with healthier choices. Two months into their journey, nurses and hospital workers began to see the positive changes in the four participating nurses and sought inspiration to make their own changes. The four nurses challenged the hospital to lose 3,000 lbs. during the remaining three months of their “Revolution.” Ty Pennington agreed to help motivate them for their “Cooper Challenge.”
