The Duke Center for Living, a short drive from Duke Tower
The Duke Center for Living, at 3475 Erwin Road, is a common destination for many Duke Tower guests, being only a short drive (3.5 miles, about ten minutes) away. Or, put another way, many visitors to the Duke Center for Living find that Duke Tower is their preferred accommodations during their stay in Durham, be it for just a day or two or for several months.
Certainly one reason we are the preferred accommodations is because Duke Tower provides a free 24-hour shuttle service to our guests going to clinics at the Duke Center for Living, or anywhere at Duke Medical Center or on the Duke Campus.
Since we also provide a convenient RDU International Airport shuttle, we find that many visitors do not even need to rent a car during their visit to the Center for Living or other destinations on the Duke Campus.
Nestled in the woods of Duke Forest, the Center for Living Campus at Duke University is the home of a host of health and wellness programs that provide innovative, personalized care:
- Diet & Fitness Center
- Health & Fitness Center
- Integrative Medicine
- Health Navigation Services
- Executive Health Program
- Preventive Cardiology
- Women’s Wellness Clinic
These programs reside within the beautifully designed buildings on the campus.
In particular, we have many guests who are part of the Duke Diet & Fitness Program and also have fitness and other classes at the Duke Center for Living. We are happy to pick up and drop off our guests at either location, 24 hours a day.

Recently we’ve seen more guests who are going to the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine, which blends advanced medical practice and research with proven complementary therapies. Headed by Dr. Tracey Gaudet, Duke Integrative Medicine is committed to transforming the way health care is delivered in the 21st century. Informed by rigorous academic research and education, their expert providers integrate the best of Western scientific medicine with proven complementary therapies to address the whole person—body, mind, spirit and community. Their innovative model of care—including multi-day health immersions, annual membership and a broad array of clinical services, classes, workshops, and training—is focused on healing and provides personalized, comprehensive support across time.
One other draw for Duke Tower guests is the program in Executive Health, which provides comprehensive health assessments and personalized health programs to executives. Again, this program is sometimes blended with the Diet & Fitness Program, which also draws many successful business people.
Their programs are designed to reduce stress and teach executives how to stay healthy despite having a demanding lifestyle. They offer comprehensive health assessments to address medical needs and health risks such as coronary heart disease and diabetes. Exercise, nutrition, and stress management assessments are also a part of their preventative approach to medicine.
