We Get Things Done

Grand ambitions are just hopes until people take action to bring them about, and our commitment to action drives us to deliver results. From pioneering medical advancements to improving patient care and making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve, we are all in.

And our work doesn’t end at the cure. In health care, you’re never solving just one problem. Every solution leads to new questions, and new questions mean new opportunities. We fight for the right policies, empower our students and trainees, and scale our discoveries for the greatest benefit. At Duke Health, we don’t just dream great things: we live to do the work it takes to achieve them.

Drones carrying AEDs are being dispatched during real 911 calls in Forsyth County, North Carolina, to see if drones can deliver AEDs to patients faster than traditional emergency services.
