Duke Center for Living

The Duke Center for Living is a local and national resource for both medical and wellness information in a variety of programs that improve the lifestyle of our clients. Our mission is to help people achieve optimal health and quality of life through prevention, treatment, education and research.

We offer three programs - the Duke Executive Health Program, the Duke Diet & Fitness Center, and for local clients, the Duke Health & Fitness Center. Though separate programs, the philosophies of health and wellness are the same - to help create a customized, practical and sustainable lifestyle plan for each person.

The Duke Health & Fitness Center and Duke Executive Health facilities, are located on a beautiful 26-acre wooded site near Duke University's West Campus and Duke University Medical Center. The Durham area offers year-round sporting events, exhibits, lectures, cultural activities and entertainment.
