ways to reduce claims cost, and thus, the rising cost of health care, is by
practicing prevention. Duke supports faculty, staff, and their family members in
practicing prevention through a broad range of health management programs that
emphasize a proactive approach to improving health and preventing disease before
it happens.
LIVE FOR LIFE, Duke's employee wellness program, offers health assessments and education,
smoking cessation programs, fitness activities and nutrition activities, to help
eligible faculty, staff and family members reach their health and fitness goals.
Duke Prospective Health, offered to those enrolled in Duke Select and Duke
Basic health care plans, works with participants and their personal physicians to
identify health risks they may face and help to prevent diseases and chronic
conditions before they happen.

referrals from a staff of licensed clinical social workers and psychologists to
