An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

November, 15th 2019-- Recently, Dr. Garg's WE CARE research emphasizing the significance of meeting families' material needs to improve pediatric health outcomes was cited during Duke University School of Medicine's (DUSM) Cultural Determinants of Health and Health Disparities course. The course is part of the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program at DUSM, which looks to foster students' "emotional intelligence, integrity, teamwork, selfless service, and critical thinking" as future leaders in the healthcare field [1]
