Research has recently discovered dangerous biological syndromes, which can be the result of traumatic stress during childhood. These stressors can be caused by family dysfunction, neglect, abuse, violence and poverty. The new documentary "Resilience" reveals that toxic stress can trigger hormones that cause negative effects in the brains and bodies of children, putting them at a greater risk of obesity and other serious health conditions, addictions, homelessness, prison, and even death.
We will be screening this important documentary every 2nd Thursday at no cost; anyone in the community and especially health care workers are encouraged to attend and participate in conversation following the film.

Enjoy a day filled with an eclectic mix of music, food, hands-on environmental education activities and much more!

Free event, rain or shine!

#EarthDay2019

Join us for a reception and exhibition examining the roots of health disparities in the "City of Medicine."

How have racial health disparities in Durham been understood over the past century? To what extent have their structural roots been appreciated? What role has Duke Health played in this history?

This exhibit, supported by a Duke Bass Connections grant, explores these questions using maps, images, and video interviews. It focuses on four case studies: tuberculosis before WWII, childbirth during hospital desegregation, HIV, and the rise of diabetes and obesity in Durham today.
