Description

Speakers:Dr. Meredith Broderick, Neurologist and Sleep SpecialistSound Sleep Guru www.soundsleepguru.com In the late 1970s, a Midwestern family adopted a young girl from South Korea and brought her home to Ohio. She was given the namesake of a renowned doctor in her family, Dr. Meredith. His kindness and dedication to caring for his patients made everyone feel as if they were members of his own family. That young girl was me, and ever since childhood, I have carried the memory of Dr. Meredith and the noble qualities he brought to his medical practice. After practicing conventional medicine for the past 12 years, I’ve been called back to my roots. The current healthcare model with rushed back to back patients, quick inclination to prescribe, and endless paperwork leaves little room for the kind of warm embrace medicine that Dr. Meredith inspired in me. I am drawn to recreate the sacred space between a doctor and a patient where trust, patience, and connection are the keys to healing. As a neurologist with an extensive background in allopathic sleep medicine, I incorporate the latest evidence-based research with behavioral sleep medicine to create customized sleep plans to minimize the use of medications. I offer care personalized to your needs so that we can resolve the underlying cause of your sleep problems. With these tools and my support, you can finally become a great sleeper.

Bryan Pitman AAMS, Financial AdvisorEdward Jones North Bend www.edwardjones.com I was born in San Diego, CA, in a U.S. Navy family. We traveled and lived in Japan, Arizona, Virginia, Montana and now Washington State where I have called home for over 23 years. With my wife, and our young daughter, I enjoy skiing, outdoor activities and staying involved in local community events. With my wife being South American, we routinely spend time on outreach and development programs there. After September 11th, 2001, my passion shifted to protecting and serving in the law enforcement community. I graduated from Seattle University in 2008, studying criminal justice and economics. I spent over a decade as a police officer and collision investigator in Pierce County. Loyalty, trust and honor are the cornerstone values which guided my upbringing and taught me the importance of relationships and serving others. At Edward Jones, we are focused on developing human-centered relationships with our clients. Finding a financial advisor and allowing someone into your world of finances can be deeply personal. Trusting that person is quite possibly one of the most important and influential decisions you can make. I serve as a partner and mentor to my clients. I guide them through life events so they can have confidence in their future. I take the time to listen, understand your story, and find what is important to you and your family. In addition to the industry Series 7 and Series 66 registrations, I worked diligently to obtain the Accredited Asset Management Specialist™, or AAMS™, designation from the Denver-based College for Financial Planning.
