Dzau, M.D. Chancellor for Health Affairs and CEO of DUHS It is with great enthusiasm that I share with you a few brief thoughts about our consolidated Duke University Health System values. While I believe faculty and staff throughout Duke Medicine consistently demonstrate an extraordinarily high commitment to the values often associated with exemplary character, having a consistent set of values as a health system is critically important. The dynamic nature of the nation’s health care delivery system and governmental research commitment is more demanding than ever, and knowing that we have a shared moral compass gives me a great sense of pride in the institution.

The values were created through the work of countless individuals across the health system, representing all entities and a variety of job functions, including physicians, nurses, staff, and administrators. They reflect a consolidation of many separate values sets that existed previously.
