Donor recognition levels
For over 100 years, members of our community have helped to support quality healthcare through their charitable contributions to Cooley Dickinson Hospital. Cooley Dickinson Hospital (CDH) was established with a bequest left by Caleb Cooley Dickinson, who died in 1882.
On New Years Day in 1886, the first hospital in Hampshire County opened its doors with 12 beds, an operating room, wash rooms, a doctor’s room, dining room, kitchen, parlor, and the matron’s room. Today, CDH is a financially strong community hospital providing a wide range of inpatient and outpatient services to Pioneer Valley residents.
We invite you to become a member of our giving societies through your annual support of Cooley Dickinson Hospital, and to learn more about our history to which those levels are attributed.
