Friends of Cooley Dickinson
Always There
Since 1904, the Cooley Dickinson Auxiliary has supported the hospital in its commitment to provide exceptional health care to our community. In 2016, the group’s membership voted to change the name to “The Friends of Cooley Dickinson.”
This dedicated, enthusiastic community is committed to supporting patient services, advocating for the hospital and raising funds, and has been invaluable as a resource for the hospital. In just the past three decades, the Cooley Dickinson Auxiliary has donated more than $3 million for significant projects, and, with your help, can continue to do so. Major donations have included funding for Nursing Education; Midwifery Care; the new Breast Center, the Mass General Cancer Center at Cooley Dickinson Hospital; renovation of the Emergency Department and the 2007 construction of the North Building, including the Kittredge Surgery Center and the Joint Replacement Center.

The Power of Friends: Words of Support
The mission of The Friends of Cooley Dickinson Hospital is to support the hospital through fundraisers and events. This year, they funded a challenge grant for $50,000 which helped to raise additional funds for the Childbirth Center. Ever mindful of the needs of the organization, the Friends also asked members to support Cooley Dickinson by donating to the Power of Friends campaign.
Hearts and messages of caring now decorate the Coffee and Gift Shops at Cooley Dickinson. Thanks to community donors to the Power of Friends, words of support are enjoyed by staff and patients alike.
A special thank you to all of our Friends members for their donations and thoughtful words of support. We couldn’t do it without you!
