Dannion Brinkley
Co-founder, Chairman of the Board
Dannion Brinkley is the author of the international bestsellers, Saved by the Light, At Peace in the Light and Secrets of the Light. Made into a television motion picture, Saved by the Light has been seen in over 30 countries.
Dannion is loved and respected worldwide for his inspirational lectures on the Near-Death Experience, Palliative and Hospice Care, Complementary and Alternative Healing Practices, and Self-Awareness. Since 1977, Dannion has worked diligently, looking for the best way to integrate conventional and complimentary medicine. Having survived numerous brushes with death, Dannion is an expert in the dying process. He was struck twice by lightning and has since survived heart failure, open-heart surgery, ruptured subdural hematomas, brain surgery, and a massive grand mal seizure.
That first lightning strike radically changed his life. Dannion became a hospice and nursing home volunteer. In the past 28 years of volunteer service, he has been at the bedside of over 350 people at the point of death, and more than 1200 during their final days, accruing more than 20,000 hours of service.
As a member of the National Institutes of Health’s ad hoc committee, he assisted in research and preparation of The Chantilly Report and the foundation of the Office of Alternative Medicine in 1992.
Dannion is co-founder of The Twilight Brigade / Compassion in Action (CIA), an international organization that recruits, trains, and places volunteers, with the goal of providing companionship during the last months of life. With more than 76 million Baby Boomers now confronting the mortality of their relatives and friends many of whom are Veterans, this program is providing a much-needed link to assure quality in end-of-life care.
* In May 2007, Dannion was presented with the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service in our nation’s Veteran’s Hospitals
* August 2007 Dannion received the Cherished Heroes Award from the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Auxiliary
* July of 2007 brought the Director’s Special Service Award for outstanding volunteer service which recognized the contributions of The Twilight Brigade.
* May 2007 Dannion received the VAVS Outstanding Silver Merit Award for recognition of 12,500 hours at the bedside of hospitalized veterans.
