Around Campus: Healing Hands

June 29, 2009

The Anne Cannon DeWitt Healing Hands sculpture is located in the UT Tyler Braithwaite Nursing Building lobby.  

Presented in 2004, the sculpture features hands of various sizes and ages representing the many stages of healing involved in nursing. The hands depict a nurse taking a pulse, a nurse holding an infant’s hand and two hands reaching down assist another.

It was commissioned by DeWitt’s husband, Tom, in recognition of her dedicated service to health care.
