The Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and Duke Health mourn the passing of David H. Murdock, a visionary philanthropist and the namesake of the MURDOCK Study, who died at the age of 102.

The new facility will add hospital services to the existing Duke Health Cary location, including an emergency room, surgical services, imaging, cancer treatments, and other care.

Sarah Rose Smale has been a patient of Sharon Freedman, MD, for almost 20 years. During that time, Freedman has helped the family preserve as much of Sarah Rose’s sight as possible and has guided them through multiple chronic and acute eye conditions, often from afar. In appreciation, Angela and Leonard Smale have been generous supporters of Freedman's research.
