Implementation Science as a Catalyst for Improving Population Health in a Learning Health System

In this talk, Dr. Justin Moore will explore ongoing collaborative efforts between faculty at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and administrators and clinicians across the Advocate Health system aimed at accelerating the translation of evidence-based practices from clinical trials (T2) into system-wide, population‑level health improvements (T4). Dr. Moore will situate this work within the broader mission of building a true Learning Health System, one that continuously integrates research, practice, and real‑world data to deliver better outcomes at scale.

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.

Mini Mental Makeover

Duke Personal Assistance Service (PAS) provides a Mini Mental Makeover session each month through Health Matters. These sessions allow you space to slow down, reflect, and grow in gratitude in an online group setting. The Mini Mental Makeovers are led by Laurie Kovens, a Senior EAP Counselor with PAS. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional, with over 15 years of experience.

These sessions are not recorded to maintain privacy and ensure safety when sharing thoughts or experiences.

Social Identity

This session explores the complexities of social identity and how it shapes our experiences, interactions, and perspectives. Participants will engage in reflective activities to better understand their own social identities, recognize the identities of others, and examine how bias and group dynamics influence belonging. Participants will leave with practical strategies to foster inclusion, build empathy, and strengthen connections within the workplace and beyond.
