We all have the power to do something good for someone else. One small thing can change someone’s life or even save it. When we come together to help humankind, we make our mark on the world.

Approximately 20 percent of blood collections come from young donors like college students, faculty and staff. Hospital patients are relying on us to give blood to help ensure blood is available for the lifesaving treatments they need. It’s one of the few powerful ways we can give—human to human. And, when we give blood through the American Red Cross, we pay human kindness forward.

our new assistant directors have been named for the Duke Interprofessional Education & Care Center and will begin on January 1, 2020.
