Community Work Day

Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.

Transforming Sickle Cell Disease Care

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), often diagnosed in infancy, alters the trajectory of a patient’s life forever. The average lifespan of a sickle cell patient is roughly 20 to 30 years shorter than average due to the ongoing, constant complications that come with a SCD diagnosis. Here at the School of Nursing, we have one of the most robust programs of SCD research in the nation, with multiple nurse scientists approaching the care of patients with SCD from a variety of angles.
