 Mitchell Bergman, CRNA, MSN died at his home in Glencoe, IL, on July 26, after battling liver cancer for the last six months. Mitchell was well known wherever he worked and lived for his big smile, hearty laugh, and eagerness to befriend almost anyone.
He was proud of his 35-years as a Registered Nurse. As a nurse anesthetist, he was valued by his patients for his expression of genuine caring at times when they were afraid. For him, health care was about taking care of the human spirit and not just about the latest technology. Whenever he had the opportunity to speak to young people about their career choices, he encouraged them to consider nursing, often following up by email or telephone to recommend particular programs.
Having grown up in Philadelphia, he worked as a nurse manager, director of perioperative care, and manager of prison health in various Philadelphia-area hospitals and facilities. In Chicago, he worked at Weiss Hospital and then moved to Same Day Surgery. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Union College in Kentucky in 1972, his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 1977, his Certificate in Anesthesia from Graduate Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in 1978, and his Master of Science in Nursing from Gwenyd-Mercy College near Philadelphia, in 1986.
He is survived by his partner, Henry H. Perritt Jr.; his son, Phillip Bergmann of New York; and his sister, Fridell Bennedetto, of Florida.
