IN THE SPIRIT OF

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.”
— MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN

In our professional and personal lives, each of us can choose to use our talents, knowledge and

IN THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE

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.

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,
KEVIN BROYLES, MD

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 3
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.

“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.”

“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.”

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 African-
American 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 African-
American 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.”

For more than 16 years, Sarah has been a faithful and dependable

dying. As of September 1, Sarah had served five patients in 2008.

She typically serves (i.e., befriends,

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

loved ones. She remembers by her visits
those who are often forgotten.”
