title: Health as a continuum based on the Neuman systems model.
abstract: The following presentation, "Health as a Continuum," is based on the Neuman systems model. New relationships are made with the created-environment and energy as concepts in viewing and defining health on a continuum. Two case studies illustrate these views. An in-depth consideration of environment has important implications for wholistic nursing care and research.
