Bernie Siegel: The Number One Public Health Issue

Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale and of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers. Bernie and his wife Bobbie have five children and eight grandchildren. For many, he needs no introduction as he has touched many lives all over the world. In 1986, his first book, Love, Medicine & Miracles was published. This event redirected his life. Peace, Love & Healing, How To Live Between Office Visits, Prescriptions for Living and 365 Prescriptions For The Soul followed. Buddy’s Candle is a book for children of all ages about dealing with the loss of a loved one.

Bernie embraces a philosophy of living and dying that stands at the forefront of the medical ethics and spiritual issues our society grapples with today. He continues to assist in the breaking of new ground in the field of healing and it is an honor and privilege to have him join us for The Raw Mom Summit.
