43rd Annual NAHN Conference in Cleveland

Dr. Jean Watson to Deliver a Keynote on Universals of Human Caring in Action

NAHN is pleased to announce Jean Watson, Ph.D. RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, will deliver a keynote address at our 43rd Annual Conference in Cleveland July 31 – August 3. Dr. Watson is Distinguished Professor and Dean Emerita, University of Colorado, Denver.

She will deliver her message on caring during our morning general session on August 1 at the Cleveland Hilton Downtown.

Dr. Watson has devoted her career to the phenomena of human caring and approaches her work from her own, persona experience. In 1997, she suffered a traumatic eye injury in a golfing accident and lost one of her eyes.

“I had to learn to be still, to surrender to all; to let go; to learn to receive; to be open to unknown mystery and miracles,” she writes on her website. ” It was the mystic and metaphysical/spiritual practices and inner experiences that carried me through.”

A year after losing her eye, Dr. Watson lost her husband to suicide, which further galvanized her devotion to her quest for the mystical spirituality of human caring, she writes. “

This year’s conference theme is Latino Health Care: Advancing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity. Enjoy reconnecting with your NAHN familia and educational opportunities and celebrate our contributions to our communities through health care.

NAHN has announced its keynote speakers for its 43rd Annual Conference, July 31-Aug. 3 at the Cleveland Hilton Downtown in Cleveland, Ohio. We are profiling each of them.

The conference site is the beautiful Hilton Downtown Cleveland Hotel, conveniently located in the heart of the city.
