Founded in 1949, the Golden Age Society focused on social gatherings as they coordinated neighborhood social clubs for Durham’s elderly residents. Today, the DCSL offers various services aimed at advancing the well-being of adults 55 and older living in Durham and is located in downtown Durham with two satellite locations, one in the JFK Memorial Towers in Durham and the other in the Little River Community Complex in Bahama, NC.
DUHS leadership has expressed how grateful they are to all DUSON volunteers who have staffed the employee and community vaccine clinics during the past three weeks. In December, our faculty, staff and student volunteers worked a total of 21 vaccine clinic shifts and 25 so far in January!
