Taking Pride in Our Employees

Cooley Dickinson Health Care works hard to ensure every employee feels supported, respected, and part of the decision-making processes within the Cooley Dickinson community. We are committed to creating a healthy community regardless of what our colleagues look like, believe, or who they love.

In addition to being an LGBTQ supportive employer in Western Massachusetts, Cooley Dickinson Health Care is proud to have been recognized as an LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader by the Human Rights Commission for many years. Our commitment to equality and inclusivity has informed how we provide care, train our staff, and create our patient policies. As a result, we’re able to provide specialized and respectful care to our community from a diverse group of employees.

Our Commitment to Workforce Enrichment and Engagement

We are committed to our workforce and helping them thrive.

To be a global leader in healthcare, it is essential that our workforce reflects the patients we serve and offers a variety of perspectives. This enables us to develop better solutions to our challenges and deliver higher quality care with better patient outcomes. A workforce with a broad range of skills, experiences, and perspectives is best positioned to innovate, create solutions, provide the highest quality care to all our patients, and ensure that our patients maintain trust and feel confident seeking care from our provider community.

Our Communities

Northampton, Massachusetts, and the surrounding communities have a vibrant and rich history of lifting up LGBTQ voices. Northampton Pride had its first march in 1982, and that march still occurs annually today. Northampton has been recognized for its LGBTQ friendliness by the Human Rights Commission and earned a perfect score on the 2023 Municipal Equality Index. This score was given in recognition of Northampton’s non-discrimination laws as well as other policies and resources dedicated to the equitable treatment of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community members. By joining the Cooley Dickinson team, you can be part of an active local community focused on advocacy, equality, and visibility for our LGBTQ members.
