Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.

Every Thursday at 10 a.m., add some movement to your mindfulness practice with Mindful Movement.

The current administration's mass deportation campaign led to a surge in the number of people being held in ICE detention centers. The administration revived the practice of detaining families, and there are now hundreds of children in these centers-who are usually, but not always, held with a parent. Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, the agency's deadliest year in over two decades.
