Hanes arrived at Duke University in 1931 and served Duke Hospital as a physician. He later became a professor of medicine in 1933. In the 1930s, Frederic Hanes' vision and enthusiasm for a garden presence on campus led to the beginnings of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. The original garden site was a debris-filled ravine. Dr. Hanes was determined to convert the unsightly ravine, by which he walked daily, into a garden of his favorite flower, the iris. He persuaded his friend, Sarah P. Duke, widow of Benjamin N. Duke (one of Duke University's founders), to give $20,000 to finance a garden that would bear her name. In 1935, more than 100 flower beds were in glorious bloom with 40,000 irises, 25,000 daffodils, and 10,000 small bulbs, and assorted annuals.
Hanes was a fellow of the American College of Physicians; member of the Association of American Physicians, American Medical Association, and the Association of North Carolina State Medical Society. Hanes was also a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Nu Sigma Nu, Phi Beta Kappa, and Alpha Omega Alpha honor societies. Hanes served as lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army Medical Corps at the Commanding Base Hospital 65, A.E.F., 1917-1919. Hanes' major writings include Ashford's Bibliography of Sprue (1938), A Study of Mental Health in North Carolina (1938), and My African Diary (1926?).
Dedicated in October 1988, the Frederick Moir Hanes, M.D. Veterinary Medical Center at North Carolina's Zoological Park was named in his honor.
