The University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing, Hospital
and Clinic Administration and the School of Nursing Alumni Association
have joined together to acknowledge all School of Nursing alumni and
their outstanding contributions to patient care within the UTMB clinical
enterprise.
May 1, 2002, marked the beginning of the tradition of a recognition
breakfast for those alumni employed at UTMB and the presentation of
the first Betty Lee Evans Nursing Excellence Award for clinical achievements.
 Dr.
E. Burke Evans established the Betty Lee Evans Nursing Excellence Endowment
in December 2001 as a lasting tribute to his grandmother and her namesake,
his sister, Betty Lee Evans. After 50 years of experience in the Department
of Orthopaedics, Dr. Evans wished to contribute this gift based on
his strong belief in fostering nursing excellence at the bedside. With
this endowment, funds will provide support to nursing students and
acknowledge the clinical achievements of nursing professionals in the
UTMB community.
