“I think all of us at the Lakeland Safety Council can pretty much figure out why you do what you do. Your passion and enthusiasm were second to none and I must say it was like a “breath of fresh air” to listen to a program such as “To Live A Long Time and To Die Healthy.” I hope to see you doing this kind of presentation until you are at least (94) years old. Thank you again, John.” Bob Schroeder, Trent Tube, Inc.
Following the 1982 cancer death of a close friend, he became a hospice volunteer. For ten years he was engaged in caring for people with terminal illnesses. It was then that he decided to pursue a third career, as a nurse. He returned to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and graduated in 1994, at age sixty, with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. After graduation, he joined the staff of Unity Hospice in Green Bay, Wisconsin and took a second, full-time position as a cardiac nurse at Bellin Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Working with critically ill cardiac patients and terminally ill patients in Hospice, he became aware that almost all of his patients had brought their conditions upon themselves. Puzzled as to why this happened, he returned to his philosophy and academic background to study the questions of health, disease, and the American healthcare system. He presents the results of his study and his experience as a nurse in his presentation, "Health and Healing: To Live A Long, Long Time and To Die Healthy."
