The Duke Center for Community and Population Health Improvement realizes partnerships are essential and effective means for the us to fulfill parts of our mission and foster a shared sense of stewardship that is so crucial for our future.
Our Partners
Duke Office of Community Relations The Office of Community Relations (OCR) was formed in April 2002 to establish and develop relations between Duke University Health System and the communities we serve. We develop and sustain collaborative relationships with local and state government as well as members of the communities in which we serve.
Duke Office of Health Equity and Disparities Authentically engaging with our patients and the community, while eliminating barriers to quality healthcare and research, are critical elements to reducing cancer disparities. The Duke Cancer Institute's (DCI) Office of Health Equity and Disparities (OHED) has developed an outreach and research platform to link community members to screening and treatment services, while DCI faculty and staff are active in community outreach opportunities. Our goal is to meet communities where they are and provide resources to promote optimal healthcare outcomes.
