Inside Duke Medicine
Get in step with health; wear sneakers to work
posted April 6th, 2009
Duke Medicine will team up with the American Heart Association to get employees moving on April 8, the National Start! Walking Day.
This event is part of a new national movement that encourages employees to live longer, stronger lives by adopting a comprehensive walking and nutrition program.
Chancellor Victor J. Dzau invites all Duke Medicine employees to wear sneakers or walking shoes to work on April 8, and to join together in one of three lunchtime walks or one of three evening Live for Life walking events.
For those who join us at the lunch hour walks on April 8, Duke Medicine will provide refreshments and Live For Life will give away Live For Life dollars to randomly chosen participants for use in their store.

Durham Regional Hospital – 12 p.m. Join us at the employee entrance for a one-mile walk around the perimeter of the hospital grounds.
