John P. Cardone

John P. Cardone earned a BA and a MA both in Communication Arts from New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, NY. He retired in December 2018 after 40 years as a writer/producer of patient education, medical education, and health promotion videos and interactive media programs. His company, Hospital Video Network, Inc. founded in 1984 served a long list of healthcare and business clients. These days, he actively spends his time inspiring people to get outdoors with nature.

His over 40 years of experience producing videos in many specialties of medicine has brought him a unique blend of sensitivities concerning illness, hope, loss, stress, and the amazing human quality—the will to live. He creatively works to incorporate these sensitivities into each book project. John grew up in Astoria, New York moving to Long Island after his military service in 1970. John lives in Ronkonkoma, NY with his wife, Kathy. They have two children and five wonderful grandchildren. He is proud to say he is the founder of the Long Island Authors Group, launched in 2008. The Healing Power of Nature, a highly researched, entertaining book, is his fourth published work, and his second foray into non-fiction.
