Since arriving in 1993, she has opened a Duke University office in downtown Durham and helped establish clinics in five city schools. Although the public University of North Carolina receives the bulk of government funding for indigent care in the city, Duke and Durham Regional...
...know that progressive change is possible if we can shake up Washington with a little grass-roots spirit.
