“Every person must decide, at some point, whether they will walk in the light of creativealtruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s mostpersistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

In our professional and personal lives, each of us can choose to use our talents, knowledge andabilities to support the development of healthy individuals, families and communities. With a primary focus on the provision of excellent health care, that community focus is the very reason we are here. Duke University Hospital was built upon a firm foundation of service excellence.In fact, the Hospital was created to serve the residents of North Carolina. And as a member of DukeMedicine’s leadership team, I am honored to note that here in Durham we have assembled someof the sharpest minds in the world to explore methods of care that can help people throughoutNorth Carolina and around the globe. Within this assemblage of talent beats the heart of Duke Medicine. When extraordinary skillmeets extraordinary care giving, good things happen. Within these pages, you will find the storiesof Duke Medicine employees who are living the spirit of community care giving. These inspirationalpeople are living our mission each day, and they honor our legacy of service with their actions.May their stories inspire others to find joy in the selfless pursuit of service, and may they continueto heal with hands and hearts.
