“I had the privilege of working closely with Bernard Toney during his outstanding service at the White House Medical Unit, particularly during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bernard's dedication to protecting the President, Vice President, First Family, and White House staff both in Washington, D.C., and abroad was nothing short of remarkable. His expertise, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the health and safety of those he served were truly exceptional. Bernard's ability to remain calm under pressure and make critical decisions during a global health crisis was an inspiration to everyone who worked alongside him. I can confidently say that Bernard's professionalism, knowledge, and tireless work ethic significantly contributed to the success of the White House Medical Unit's mission. He is not only a highly skilled medical professional but also a compassionate and caring individual who always put the well-being of others first. I wholeheartedly recommend Bernard Toney for any role where dedication, leadership, and expertise in healthcare and crisis management are valued. He is an exceptional asset to any team, and I have no doubt that he will continue to excel. I look forward to working with him again in the future. ”
