Dr. Margaret A. Newman Center for Nursing Theory

The UT Health Science Center College of Nursing has established a Center of Excellence that builds on the legacy of alumna Margaret A. Newman, PhD, RN, FAAN, a world-renowned leader in nursing theory. The Center focuses on Dr. Newman's theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness, which proposes that all individuals can achieve a state of health that involves the experience of interacting and connecting with the environment. According to the theory, relationships are the focus of nursing, which assists individuals in expanding consciousness.

The Digital Commons series includes Distinguished Visiting Professor Lectures and other scholarship produced by the center.
