Advancing Your Health:

The Cooley Dickinson Community Newsletter

Beginning in the fall of 2018, Cooley Dickinson Health Care revived its periodic community newsletter. Formerly known as The Pulse, and since renamed Advancing Your Health, the newsletter features updates on new providers and newly available technology, alongside palpable patient stories about personal health challenges, treatment and recovery. Advancing Your Health also contains information on upcoming classes, lectures and other community events; plus interviews with patients, providers and profiles of some of our newest programs and services.

FALL 2021 Newsletter

Follow an Easthampton couple’s experience with the ERAS surgical recovery protocol and open up a Q&A with two PA’s at our walk-in orthopedic injury clinics. Learn about stroke and its causes, signs & symptoms, and how acting quickly is usually critical to positive outcomes.

Meet new providers and sign up for a virtual 5k to benefit Cooley Dickinson’s Hospice programs.
