About Moments to Movement

Moments to Movement (M2M) is Duke Health’s collective stand against systemic racism and injustice. The name signifies going beyond passive moments of reflection and becoming more active as we build a movement to make lasting change for our patients, their loved ones and each other. Moments to Movement is our pledge to stand against racism in all its forms, to be self-aware and to make equitable choices daily. That is how we create a community that is stronger, healthier and more just.

DUSON M2M Town Hall

Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) team members highlighted six concrete recommendations for improving racial equity during this virtual town hall on Monday, Nov. 2.

“I see these town halls as a form of accountability," said A. Eugene Washington, MD, chancellor for health affairs at Duke University and president and CEO of the Duke University Health System (DUHS). “We've made some statements about what we are going to do. We're on the record. For everyone who is participating in the weeks and months ahead, you are to hold us accountable to the commitments we have made."

Joining Washington for the hour-long discussion were DUSON Dean Marion E. Broome, PhD, RN; DUSON Associate Dean Brigit M. Carter, PhD, RN; and representatives from three of the school's nine racial justice committees.
