Overview and metadata sections

Lillian S. Brunner (b. 1918), author and educator, is a native Pennsylvanian who is known nationally and internationally for her contributions to nursing practice, particularly in the area of medical surgical nursing. Brunner graduated from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, School of Nursing in 1940. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Education (Nursing Major) in 1945 and a Master of Science degree from Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH) in 1947. Brunner also completed post Masters' coursework at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Education from 1960-1963.

Brunner's professional experience consists of a variety of nursing and instructor positions at hospitals and schools of nursing. She has authored or collaborated on nine books on medical and surgical nursing. These books have appeared in as many as 12 languages and many are standard textbooks in nursing schools and educational programs around the world. She is perhaps best known for Textbook of Medical and Surgical Nursing and The Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice, both of which have run in at least six editions.

Brunner has served actively in many professional organizations including the Pennsylvania League for Nursing, the Board of Trustees of the Presbyterian Medical Center (Philadelphia, PA), the National League of American Pen Women (Philadelphia Branch), the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing Alumni Association, and the Advisory Board of the Center for The Study of The History of Nursing (Philadelphia, PA).

Mrs. Brunner's contributions to nursing have been recognized by several awards including Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa, University of Pennsylvania, 1985; Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa, Cedar Crest College, (Allentown, PA), 1978; Distinguished Alumnus Award, Nurses' Alumni Association, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, 1976; and 25 Years as an Outstanding Author, J.B.
