COMMUNITY CAREGIVING Stories of the 2009 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Caregiver Award Nominees

“Every person must decide, at some point, whether they will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

— DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

“A lot of people are waiting for Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi to come back — but they are gone. We are it. It is up to us. It is up to you.”

abilities to support the development of healthy individuals, families and communities. With a primary focus on the provision of excellent health care, that community focus is the very reason we are here. Duke University Hospital was built upon a firm foundation of service excellence. In fact, the Hospital was created to serve the residents of North Carolina. And as a member of Duke Medicine’s leadership team, I am honored to note that here in Durham we have assembled some of the sharpest minds in the world to explore methods of care that can help people throughout North Carolina and around the globe. Within this assemblage of talent beats the heart of Duke Medicine. When extraordinary skill meets extraordinary care giving, good things happen. Within these pages, you will find the stories of Duke Medicine employees who are living the spirit of community care giving. These inspirational people are living our mission each day, and they honor our legacy of service with their actions. May their stories inspire others to find joy in the selfless pursuit of service, and may they continue to heal with hands and hearts.

DUKE URGENT CARE AMBULATORY SERVICES

KEVIN BROYLES, MD

YEARS OF SERVICE: 22

In our humble corner of the world, Dr. Broyles is known best as senior medical director for Duke Urgent Care Services and as the associate chief medical officer for Duke Primary Care. In Nairobi, Kenya, Dr. Broyles is well known for his work as well. Dr. Broyles’ five nominators and supporters make it clear: his passion for care and service to others has made a difference in the world, especially in Kenya. Dr. Broyles and wife Noelle have worked tirelessly to help poor, orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya since 1995 with the organization HOPE worldwide. He is a cofounder of KenyaKids, a HOPE worldwide program that helps support children in Nairobi by providing food, medical care, clothing and school books and supplies. In 2008 he worked with Duke’s Global Health Institute and HOPE worldwide to bring Duke students and faculty to

Kenya to work, serve and live with the people there. And he plans to return in 2009. “I do not know of, and find it difficult to imagine, a more dedicated servant to the poor than Kevin Broyles,” writes one of his nominators. Dr. Broyles truly recognizes that the word “community” means “global community,” writes another. Dr. Broyles’ selfless outreach beyond borders is a vivid illustration of our organizational spirit of community care giving.

SPANISH MEDICAL INTERPRETER INTERNATIONAL PATIENT SERVICES, DUKE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL YEARS OF SERVICE: 7

Emma’s nomination support letters stand out from many others in that they are handwritten, on pen and paper, by the patients she works to help. “I thank you for the blanket and socks,” writes one patient. “I really do appreciate them, and they are very pretty. And they are very well needed.” “Thank you!” adds another. “I really do appreciate the basket. I needed something to make me smile.” Emma works as a Spanish medical interpreter for Duke Hospital’s Labor and Delivery and High Risk Obstetrics, helping to support Latina mothers facing one of the most important days of their lives. But Emma takes her work several notches above the norm. Working with social workers in the department, she provides sets of new, handmade clothes

for newborn babies whose parents need the most help. “It is a blessing to know that there is someone like you who really cares,” wrote another new mom. “I know you will be blessed in return for all the things you are doing...” It is evident from the letters of nomination that our patients appreciate the caring spirit of service Emma Cabezas shares with them. And for that, we honor the work she does everyday to make Duke Hospital a great place to receive care.

SURGERY DUKE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL YEARS OF SERVICE: 9

In addition to his service as an assistant professor of surgery and as a gifted member of Duke’s surgical transplant team, Dr. Bradley Collins has a deep and wide influence as a volunteer in the larger Durham community. As a member of the Trustee Board at Union Baptist Church, he feeds the homeless each month at Durham Urban Ministries, helps collect books for children and coaches basketball and baseball teams through Durham Parks and Rec. “He has always demonstrated great humanity, dedication and personal empathy towards the care of our patients,” writes one nominator.

“This attitude extends to his interactions with everyone.” Adds another nominator, “You will certainly find no other human being more kind and thoughtful than Brad, as evidenced by the long hours he spends in our community, in addition to supporting our transplant patients’ families.”

DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY AMBULATORY SERVICES YEARS OF SERVICE: 21

“Alice is one of those individuals who was born with a giving heart,” writes one of Alice’s nine nominators and supporters. “The desire to help others makes up who she is and who she will continue to be.” The thick stack of support letters tells the story: Alice has worked as a nurse practitioner in Duke’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for 21 years, and according to her colleagues, if she were to wear all the stars awarded to her by her patients, her coat would now be covered with stars. “She remembers everyone by name, knows their family stories, and stays in touch with them. She gets phone calls at home at night, pages on the weekend, and e-mails 24/7. I don’t know another provider who has that degree of access to her patients,” wrote one nominator. In the fall of 2007, Cooper’s attention

turned to the global community. She and her husband William helped establish the Blue Jean Ball, which raised more than $42,000 for the Global Women’s Health Program. The money was used to send educational material, medical equipment and supplies to the health care project in Tanzania. Because of its success, the Ball is now an annual event. “I estimate, conservatively, that she has dedicated well over 500 hours of her personal time to this effort in the last year alone,” wrote a supporter. “She is one of the greatest community caregivers one could ever know.”

INFO DESIGNER/DEVELOPER II CALGB INFORMATION SYSTEMS, DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YEARS OF SERVICE: 2

The YMCA of Durham is clearly important to Coleen. She recently co-captained a We Build People fundraising team, generating a record amount of donations for families who cannot otherwise fully afford YMCA programs and services. She also regularly volunteers her time to the community through the YMCA via mentoring and education. “Thanks to Coleen,” says a supporter, “hundreds of children will benefit from character development, after school enrichment and lifechanging relationships at the Durham YMCA.” Another supporter wrote: “I have also seen first hand the effort that Coleen gives on a daily basis to mentor our youth members. For example, she helped a young man write a resume which ultimately became a major factor in him being hired

{by a local police department}. ... In addition, Coleen continues to stress the importance of education to all of our young members. She selflessly gives her time to teach youth how to improve in resume writing, job interviewing techniques and application issues for school and employment.” Coleen also volunteers regularly with an area PTA and is a reading tutor in Durham schools.

COMMUNITY AND FAMILY MEDICINE / DUKE DIET AND FITNESS CENTER DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YEARS OF SERVICE: 9

“Howard always finds time outside of our Community and Family Medicine Faculty and Diet & Fitness Center responsibilities to give back to the community that he calls home – Durham,” writes his nominator. Dr. Eisenson was an early and strong supporter of Project Access of Durham County (PADC), an organized system of charitable health care provided at no charge to low income uninsured people by volunteers. “He was invaluable in getting PADC launched,” writes another supporter. Dr. Eisenson also provides volunteer services to Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA), a work-based program for persons working to overcome addictions. He was one of five original physicians working with the program when it started five years ago. He takes his responsibilities as a volunteer physician

as seriously as he does his duties at Duke. Dr. Eisenson is president-elect of the Durham/Orange County Medical Society, which helped to establish Project Access in Durham County. Today the DOCMS boasts more than 720 members from throughout the Triangle area. “Dr. Eisenson is a fine example of quiet but efficient improvement in the delivery of volunteer care to our community,” states one supporter. “It is an honor to work with him, and I highly recommend him for this award.”

DUKE HEART CENTER DUKE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL YEARS OF SERVICE: 8

Nedi’s regular volunteer work puts her in a unique position of directly helping people back home. Nedi helped establish the Durham-based nonprofit group Sequoia Helping Hands, which is dedicated to helping children of Kenya who have been orphaned as a result of AIDS and malaria. She continues to serve on the group’s board of directors. According to its Web site, Sequoia Helping Hands works to “provide the orphans and vulnerable children a means of bettering their situation.” But it is clear from the list of current projects, from building a girls’ dormitory for the area school, to providing tanks for clean water at family residences, to building more than 15 houses for orphans, vulnerable children and widows, Sequoia Helping Hands is improving the lives of many

people in the community. “Regularly, Nedi works many hours overtime to provide support for the children of her homeland,” writes her nominator. “She uses her vacation to travel to Kenya to build, to educate, to provide medical care, to do whatever is needed in support of those unable to support themselves. Nedi’s commitment to the underprivileged and underserved of our world exemplifies the vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.”

NEUROSURGERY DUKE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL YEARS OF SERVICE: 2

Dr. Haglund did not expect a life-changing sermon when he went to church one day in 2006. Yet when he was inspired by a Ugandan guest pastor to visit Kampala, Uganda, Dr. Haglund helped to change and improve countless lives. When he visited Kampala in January 2007, he found that medicine was stuck in 1930s technology. He was determined to make a difference. Working with Dr. Victor Dzau, chancellor of health affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System, Dr. Michael Merson, director of Duke Global Health, Dr. Danny Jacobs, chair of Surgery and Jane Pleasants, assistant vice president of Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Dr. Haglund helped establish Duke Global Health PLUS (Placement of Life-Changing Usable Surplus) to get modern equipment to the hospital in Kampala.

In the summer of 2007, Dr. Haglund returned to Kampala with a group of 22 volunteers and more than nine tons of equipment worth over $1 million. The Kampala program continues to grow. Dr. Haglund returned in the summer of 2008 with 53 volunteers and expanded the program to include orthopedic spine surgery. Today, less than two years after Dr. Haglund’s first visit, says his nominator, “Kampala has the potential to be the premier teaching program for all of East Africa.” His work has encouraged involvement by many others, including many of our residents, which will have a long-term impact.”

METROPOLITAN DURHAM MEDICAL GROUP AMBULATORY SERVICES YEARS OF SERVICE: 14

Dr. Hart-Brothers, board chairwoman and co-founder of Durham’s Community Health Coalition, has worked to improve the health of Durham’s African-American community for most of her career. The Coalition strives to eliminate the health status disparity between African Americans and the general population, specifically to reduce preventable deaths and diseases in the Durham community. Under Dr. Hart-Brother’s leadership, and working with the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Durham Academy of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, the Coalition reached out to Durham’s African-American religious leaders to establish “Health Sunday in the African-American Church.” On every fourth Sunday, more than 110 AfricanAmerican churches in Durham receive

a monthly Health Tip Bulletin that outlines a specific health condition, its causes and risk factors, and information on how to be healthier. The Coalition also sponsors or co-sponsors 10–15 health fairs each year in the AfricanAmerican community. “The trust and respect that Elaine has gained in the community is timeless,” says one supporter. “Through her tireless advocacy, volunteerism and community empowerment efforts, Elaine continues to strive towards making sure that equity and justice in healthcare is attainable for all citizens of Durham.”

PHLEBOTOMIST DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YEARS OF SERVICE: 21

Barlett’s nominators and supporters paint a vivid picture of a health care professional dedicated to fighting AIDS. “Barlett has been drawing blood for HIV/AIDS patients since the tiny clinic opened in the early 1980s on the old Howland Ward. She did so without one thought regarding her own risk in becoming infected. All that she cared about was taking care of the patients who came into the clinic. At that time, nearly all these patients would be dead within two years of diagnosis. And Barlett attended their funerals, taking leave or driving for hours on weekends to be there for the families.” Indeed, Barlett’s colleague writes, she is so much more than a phlebotomist, or, in Barlett’s term, a “blood drawer.” She is an outstanding care giver and volunteer, with participation in dozens of programs and activities, including the AIDS Walk and Ride,

North Carolina Central University’s AIDS Day, Recovery Celebration Downtown, the Duke AIDS Research and Treatment Center Community Advisory Board, the El Centro Health Fair and Project StraightTalk. A supporter wrote: “Barlett has never once thought of herself, only of those who need her. Is this not what Martin Luther King embodied in his lifetime? Certainly it is the embodiment of Barlett Humphries, ‘Blood Drawer Extraordinaire’, Clinic 2-J, Duke University Medical Center.”

PSYCHIATRY AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YEARS OF SERVICE: 6

Dr. Jiang has long been active in the Chinese community in the Research Triangle Park area, but it was a horrific earthquake in her homeland that gave her the opportunity to directly serve the people of China. Shortly after the devastating earthquake on May 12, 2008, Dr. Jiang “assumed a leadership role in mobilizing efforts from the Duke community to intervene on behalf of the Chinese people,” explains her nominator. “She led a delegation from Duke and other mental health professionals throughout the United States to assist the people and government officials in China, largely at her own expense.” While in China, she also developed a plan to help people begin the healing process, which she presented to the head of the Ministry of Health Department of China.

“Her total dedication and commitment to helping the survivors of that tragedy make her especially worthy of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Caregiver Award,” writes her nominator. “In not only providing medical aid to the survivors, but also in addressing the overwhelming mental health needs among those affected in the quake zone area, {these things} make her contributions especially noteworthy. She worked tirelessly with victims and their families, as well as with other health providers and community leaders to help them overcome the tremendous physical and emotional hardships that they faced.”

Cindy Key is a self-proclaimed Wild Wacky Wonderful Woman of the World. Actually, The Wild Wacky Wonderful Women of the World is a Cary-based nonprofit organization that works closely with the Women’s Center of Wake County to help homeless women and children in the county and to raise funds for the Center. And Cindy is one of the Center’s most faithful and successful volunteers and fundraisers. The Women’s Center, located in Raleigh, provides a range of services, from basic needs to affordable housing, for single women and women with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Cindy and her fellow Wild Wacky Wonderful Women each year organize, coordinate and execute the Bachelor

Bid for Charity, the major fundraiser for the Women’s Center. In 2008, the event raised more than $40,000. One of her supporters writes that the event requires a lot of planning, and Cindy was involved in multiple facets of the process. She organized participants, sold tickets, assisted in advertising, helped with construction equipment and participated in the setup, execution and clean-up of the event. Her nominator adds: “Cindy is an energetic, personable and enthusiastic volunteer.”

PROFESSOR OF PATHOLOGY; ASSOC. RESEARCH PROFFESOR OF MOLECULAR GENETICS AND MICROBIOLOGY

DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YEARS OF SERVICE: 35

For more than 16 years, Dr. Miller has helped the Nearly New Shoppe move its merchandise. Literally. Located in the rear of the Hock Building at 2424 Erwin Road, and operated by the Duke Medical School Faculty Wives Club, the shop sells used clothing and other items at low prices. Proceeds from the little thrift shop support a scholarship endowment for Duke medical students, with nearly $3.5 million in scholarships since it opened in 1968. On almost every Saturday for the last 16 years, Dr. Miller arrives at the store and clears out the clothes, linens and shoes that have not sold in the last two weeks. She bags the items and brings them to people and organizations in need in the community. “Sara miraculously stuffs 15 to 20 large trash bags into her small car, and sometimes she must return to pick up a second load,” explains one nominator.

One of the most touching letters of support came from someone who was new to the U.S. from South Africa. “When I arrived here as a new immigrant in 2002, Dr. Miller offered me free board and lodging in her home for three-and-a-half months while I was settling in, as I was still sending most of my salary to South Africa to support my family. Once my family arrived, she regularly arrived with offers of clothing and other household goods, so that we were able to save what money we had.” Dr. Miller has also collaborated with local groups to send goods overseas to countries such as Russia and Afghanistan.

As president of Independent Animal Rescue, a non-profit volunteer organization in the Triangle dedicated to helping homeless, abused and abandoned animals, Dr. Naylor saves literally hundreds of animal lives on a regular basis. Her volunteer work with animals touches and helps just as many human lives as well. One of her nominators tells the story: “What began as a mission to sterilize several outdoor cats turned into a phenomenal friendship with their caregiver. And when the caregiver found herself unable to afford food to feed herself, it was Dr. Naylor who made sure she didn’t go hungry. When the caregiver’s gas was turned off, it was Dr. Naylor who made sure they had heat.” Dr. Naylor’s volunteer work over five years with Independent Animal Rescue includes matching abandoned dogs

and cats with new families, providing food and veterinary care for homeless cats, fundraising and speaking to community groups, and mentoring other volunteers. Dr. Naylor has fostered and placed more than 150 cats in new adoptive homes, and according to her nominator, “she can often be found up in the middle of the night, bottle-feeding new kittens every two to three hours.” “I admire Jen’s commitment to the animals, her generosity in time and service to IAR, and her unflagging spirit and energy,” says her nominator. “She is truly the ideal of a community caregiver.”

CLINICAL RESEARCH COORDINATOR, II CANCER CONTROL, DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE YEARS OF SERVICE: 4

Working with the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Information Service and Project F.A.C.T., a community-based educational and physical activity intervention program in Southeast Raleigh, Nicolette works to bring Body & Soul to African-American churches. Body & Soul is an NCI wellness program that helps church members reduce their risks for chronic diseases, including cancer, by encouraging members to eat more fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. Within six months in 2008, Nicolette and CIS conducted Body & Soul training for seven faith-based groups, 10 organizations, and nine African-American churches. She is continuing efforts to bring the program to other Raleigh churches. As a volunteer, Nicolette also works with the Project DIRECT Academy, a diabetes education and outreach

program of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. “Her compassion for persons with and at high risk for chronic diseases is without measure,” states a letter of support. “She respects and cares for the communities she serves and seems to have unlimited energy to get the task completed.”

ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR DUHS HUMAN RESOURCES YEARS OF SERVICE: 8

For more than 16 years, Sarah has been a faithful and dependable volunteer at Duke HomeCare and Hospice as a servant to the dying. As of September 1, Sarah had served five patients in 2008. She typically serves (i.e., befriends, cares for, and visits) between three and 12 patients each year. Most of her patients in hospice care are Alzheimer’s patients. “As Sarah will tell you, they are people — men and women with families and histories, people who, though sadly diminished, deserve to be recognized, remembered and valued until the end of their lives,” writes the volunteer services supervisor at Hospice. “Sarah does the very difficult work of recognizing people who may be unrecognizable even to their closest loved ones. She remembers by her visits those who are often forgotten.”

But Sarah’s volunteer life goes beyond the Hospice walls. She is also a former president of the Sister Cities of Durham program, representing Durham to citizens of Tanzania, Russia, Japan and England. She currently is co-coordinator of the annual Asthma Walk in Durham and a volunteer docent at Duke Gardens. “Sarah is truly an ethical person who values and models honesty by living by her philosophy of doing the right thing because it is the right thing,” writes her nominator. “Durham is a far warmer and more nurturing community because Sarah Woodard walks among us.”

Josephine’s volunteer life is tireless and far-reaching. She works with Bridges to Restoration, part of the North East Baptist Church AIDS Ministry, and a faith-based, non-profit organization focusing on HIV/AIDS and domestic violence. As part of her volunteer work with AIDS ministry and against domestic violence, she also works with the Durham County Health Department, the Durham Rescue Shelter and the Durham Recovery Center. Josephine also volunteers as a crisis line advocate and as a community faith-based educator for the Durham Crisis Response Center. “Her impact on the community is immeasurable,” writes her nominator. “Ms. Yearby has demonstrated the highest level of commitment to her local community, as well as to the Duke community.” Another support letter stated:

“I have watched with amazement as she developed and sustained a ministry to those persons living with AIDS. She has tapped into the communities’ resources to sustain and help individuals and families trying to deal with the devastation that HIV/AIDS have had on their coping abilities both personal and economic. She is an endearing, faithful, committed voice, and has been omnipresent in her church community and in the Durham community to advocate for HIV/AIDS as an agenda of and for the community.”

“Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” — DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
