The DUSON Community Health Improvement Partnership Program (D-CHIPP) was formed out of the Duke University School of Nursing's five-year Strategic Plan to address community health improvement. Together with community partners, D-CHIPP will impact individuals and families through service, education, scholarship and research, and clinical services.
