A Message from Our Vice President

Stacy Waters
Stacy L. Waters MBA
Vice President, Duke Health Development and Alumni Affairs

"Duke Health Development & Alumni Affairs is a team of dedicated and talented gift officers and development professionals that serve to connect your philanthropic aspirations and engagement goals with areas of greatest interest and impact. We bring diverse skills and experiences to the table, working across Duke Health and Duke University to identify priorities that address the most critical challenges in medical education, cutting-edge research, patient-centered care, and community support. 

Just like James B. Duke, who made a bequest in 1925 to establish the Duke School of Medicine, Duke School of Nursing, and Duke Hospital, we are driven by a shared belief in the power of philanthropy to create positive change and improve lives.

Today, our dedicated team carries forward the work of engaging generous people and organizations to support our mission – and in making a real difference in the world.

We invite you to join us today to discover the multiple ways you can support Duke Health."
