Peter Bernard Longley

Peter earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing and his Master's degrees from Southern Connecticut State University. He completed his Doctorate of Nursing Practice, with a focus on population care, at Quinnipiac University. Peter entered the nursing field using the GI Bill after serving the country during Operation Desert Storm.

Since becoming a Registered Nurse in 1996, Peter has gained extensive experience in post-surgical patient care and has developed a passion for critical care nursing. He spent the majority of his acute care career at Yale-New Haven Health, where he not only provided patient care but also managed a patient care unit, educated fellow nursing professionals, and gained a deep understanding of healthcare data and hospital finance operations.

Peter's primary mission and passion are to engage in dialogue, collaborate, and enhance the healthcare system alongside diverse colleagues and perspectives from both within and outside the healthcare sector. His goal is to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to anyone who prioritizes their health, and to demonstrate the capability, creativity, and compassion of healthcare professionals when they are given the resources to deliver optimal care and knowledge to others.
