One Chance Leads to Change
UMass Memorial is dedicated to improving the social, physical and financial health of the communities we serve.
Oftentimes, these improvements start with a simple chance for change – a job that can help someone put food on
their family's table, a career that can help them access affordable housing, a lifeline that offers them a new start. Our
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, means that we're driven to hire individuals from some of the most
disadvantaged areas of our community to ensure our workforce reflects the communities where we live.
• We empower our Diversity and Inclusion and Human Resources offices to guide our hiring strategies and programs.
• We identify gateway positions where underserved people can begin a promising career path.
• We partner with workforce development agencies to discover potential job candidates from at-risk populations.
We do this because we believe one chance can change someone's life.
