Set in a world of iron lungs and the Great Depression, when women and babies are dying in poorly run charity hospitals, Courage to Heal is based on the true story of a young surgeon, Sidney Garfield, who along with the twentieth century's boldest industrialist, Henry Kaiser, changes the face of American medicine.                                                            

     Garfield is brought to life in this story of an intransigent physician, his fight to provide health care to all, and his smoldering love affair with a beautiful nurse who marries the man determined to defeat him. The New York Times and NBC Nightly News call Garfield's legacy the "future of American  Health Care."                                                                                                                

"A riveting insider's account of the obstacles these two men faced, and the sacrifices and risks required to realize their shared vision of providing affordable, non-profit health care.  Dr. Bernstein's sense of drama and pacing, and his own parallel compassion and idealism shine through to make this a compelling read."   Susan Vreeland, bestselling author of Girl in Hyacinth Blue and Luncheon of the Boating Party.
