On one cold November night, Tony, a flight nurse, finds himself in a life-changing and dramatic personal health crisis. In the midst of providing emergency care, he becomes the emergency. His story of survival is a powerful reminder of the value of the everyday work healthcare providers do.
Tony Bernstone was born in Napier, New Zealand, and graduated from Hawkes Bay Community
Polytechnic in 1990 with a Diploma of Nursing and an Associate Degree from New York University in Feb of 1991. He worked in various ICU settings around the U.S. and New Zealand, eventually becoming a flight nurse.
He and his family settled in Utah and he worked with AirMed at the University of Utah until 2018.
He is now a procedural Nurse with the Department of Endoscopy at the University of Utah. He currently calls Salt Lake City home with his wife Stacy and 2 sons (ages 15 and 13), 2 spoiled dogs, and they love to spend as much time outside enjoying this great state as possible.
