From the Director
Another fun October week! Glad to kick off Doctoberfest with fun lunch in the courtyard (thanks to those who indulged a bit in the mummy bowling and pumpkin cornhole) and thank you to Vashyra Morris for setting up the s’mores station! Also big kudos to Dr. Van Kirk (and Dr. Boggan who got attending-assisted to VA GM!) for planning our first Family Day! Beautiful day in Duke Park with great turnout of our current and future Duke residents!
