“This is how we build a healthcare workforce that comes from Durham and cares for Durham.” – Michael Relf, Duke Health Associate Chief Nurse Executive of Academic Partnerships and Innovation. We are celebrating a powerful milestone: the first day of school at the Durham Early College of Health Sciences, a groundbreaking partnership between Duke Health, Durham Public Schools and Durham Technical Community College funded by a transformative $29.5 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies. This isn’t just a new school. It’s a new community investment model. Students will graduate with both a high school diploma and healthcare credentials, which serves as a springboard into nursing, allied health, clinical research, and other careers. At Duke Health, we believe by mentoring and educating local students, we’re not only strengthening our workforce—we’re ensuring healthcare reflects the community we serve. We’re proud to welcome these students into our living classrooms, where they’ll learn, grow, and discover their potential to heal and lead. 💙 Here’s to a new school year—and a new generation of healthcare leaders.
