About Us

The mission of Duke RCUC is to assist in the operations of Root Causes, a community organization based in the Duke University School of Medicine that is focused on alleviating disparities caused by the social determinants of health in the greater Durham area. Specifically, members will have the opportunity to work with the various components of Root Causes addressing different social determinants of health, including, but not limited to, the Fresh Produce Program, Healthy STEPS, Project FEED, and WellNest. Through this organization, members will have the opportunity to interact with Durham residents and engage in educational and research opportunities.
