We are dedicated to achieving equity in the hiring, promotion and retention of employees as we seek to better represent the communities Baystate Health serves. We have specific goals focused on the hiring, retention and inclusion of Black and Hispanic employees to address identified gaps when compared to White and Asian employees. Other inclusive strategies support financial prosperity for employees and their families, and a safe and inclusive experience for LGBTQIA+ employees, patients and visitors. We remain focused on the safe and equitable care of all the people we serve.
Business Resource Groups (BRGs), led by employees across Baystate Health in partnership with the Office of Diversity, Health Equity and Inclusion, celebrate diversity and positively impact Baystate Health’s patient care mission by elevating voices and working together to build an inclusive, collaborative workplace.
What we say matters, yet what we do about it is what makes a difference. We invite you to join us in making a difference at Baystate Health.

I am delighted for this opportunity to return to Baystate Health to serve as the Chief Diversity, Health Equity, and Inclusion Officer and advance the imperative work that is foundational to equity and inclusion: access and delivery of quality healthcare services, reduction of health disparities, and creation of an inclusive environment for all. Each one of us plays an important role in this journey – and I look forward to working throughout the enterprise and community to lead Baystate Health’s efforts to build and advance our collective long-term vision and strategies together.
