Why I Work Here

Our employees share reasons why they choose to work at Dana-Farber.

For me, it's the satisfaction I get assisting principal investigators who are committed to doing extensive research to find a cure for this complex and devastating disease called cancer.

I can't imagine working anywhere else. Everyone goes above and beyond. From holding a door open, to giving directions, to pressing the elevator button, to noticing someone in need of assistance and helping them, to the numerous 'Good Mornings,' 'Hellos,' 'Good Nights,' and 'Thank You's' I receive everyday, they all make me smile and grateful to work here.
— Lisa Lewis

I am a 14-year survivor of an allogenic bone marrow transplant for acute myelogenous leukemia and I receive follow-up treatment here. I picked up and moved my husband and infant son to Massachusetts from Buffalo, New York because of Dana-Farber's amazing reputation and because I have a passion for fighting cancer.
— Hilary Hall

I work here because Dana-Farber has an energy not easily duplicated elsewhere. And doing my small bit to cure cancer is a great way to satisfy my try-to-save-the-world mentality!
— Courtney Lemoine

I feel that magic happens here every day in the fight against cancer and HIV. I've lost friends and family members to these diseases and I like being a part (albeit indirectly) of this fight. That excites me when I get up in the morning to come to work.
