ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Advancing Care for Our Communities

Advancing Care for Our Communities

Your life is busier than ever. Your ability to fully engage in life depends on your health and wellness. In western Massachusetts, you can count on Cooley Dickinson Health Care to bring you exceptional, compassionate, and personalized care to make sure you can live your life to the fullest!

That’s why 2018 was an exciting year for Cooley Dickinson. We hired more than 25 new providers and are on track to see that number more than double within the next year. We expanded our services to include Neurology, Endocrinology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Fertility Services. We installed a new CT scanner for cancer treatment and completely renovated our Cardiovascular Interventional Radiology Suite to streamline our Interventional Radiology program. Our Childbirth Center earned the World Health Organization’s Baby-Friendly designation. And we continue to support Diversity Equity and Inclusion, expanding access to medical interpretation and scoring 100/100 for the second year in a row on the Human Rights Campaign’s Healthcare Equality Index.

What does our five-year affiliation with Massachusetts General Hospital mean for you and your family? You and your family can benefit from expanded access to organ transplant evaluation, maternal fetal medicine and clinical trials for treatments of cancer and other illnesses. We’re also proud to have participated in community health initiatives, including helping to fight food insecurity in the Pioneer Valley and continuing our long-term battle to mitigate the opioid crisis in western Mass.

Your generosity has advanced the care that Cooley Dickinson provides. Through your support, you have ensured that we provide the warm, compassionate, and personalized care that every patient deserves.

Of course, we couldn’t do any of these things without our amazing employees, interns, volunteers, generous donors and everyone else who works hard every day to help advance Cooley Dickinson’s Mission, Vision & Values. We thank you all for your commitment to quality and compassion, and for caring for and being an integral part of our community.
