Healthcare

Since 1981, Durham has proudly proclaimed itself as the City of Medicine USA. An exhaustive study conducted at the time confirmed that no other city in America exceeded Durham's variety of fine hospitals and allied medical facilities, prestigious teaching institutions, innovative research laboratories, and major healthcare corporations. Durham is home to the Duke University Health System and Duke Children's Hospital as well as a host of other healthcare facilities that are leaders in the healthcare field. Today, the City of Medicine maintains an even stronger claim to its title with nearly one-third of the Durham workforce employed in health-related occupations.
