In Brief:
DUHS-Durham Collaborate to Improve Mental Health Care
The Duke University Health System will donate
$1.5 million to Durham County and return the Oakleigh facility on the Durham Regional Hospital campus to the county for use as a mental health and substance abuse center.
In turn, the County has agreed to use the facility to house an expanded Durham Access
Center. The move reduces space costs for the county and doubles the space of the current Durham Access Center.
“This move is representative of the spirit of the ongoing collaboration between Duke, Durham County Hospital Corporation,
and Durham County at the Durham Regional Hospital campus to provide Durham residents with the best available health care services,” said Ellen Reckhow, chairman of the Durham County Board of Commissioners.
“We are always pleased to be part of any plan that results in improved access to health care services for people in Durham,” said Victor Dzau, MD, chancellor for health affairs and CEO of DUHS.
