#214 Dr. Joseph Myerson
(Airdate: January 10, 2023) Maryanne interviews Dr. Joseph Meyerson, plastic surgeon & hand surgeon at Jefferson Healthcare. He initially wanted to become a veterinarian but med school & brain surgery seemed much more appealing. Then he discovered the infinite variety of the field of plastic surgery. It meant over 12 years of medical training & taking on a huge load of student debt. Dr. Meyerson doesn’t do strictly “cosmetic” surgeries. But he does repair faces that are damaged by fire or cancer. He does “reconstructions” literally from head to toe. He calls it “getting people back on the spectrum of normalcy.” His work inspires gratitude from patients and their families.

Community Tides ~ 1/06/23
On alternate Fridays during the Noon Hour, KPTZ’s Chris Bricker joins co-host Siobhan Canty, President & CEO of Jefferson Community Foundation, to explore new developments, new paradigms, and the panorama of Good Work our vibrant community continues to do day in, and day out. Dr. Linda Rosenbury was appointed superintendent of the Port Townsend School District on July 1, 2021. She came to Washington State as a Doctoral Resident in Highline Public Schools. Previously, she worked in New York City as a teacher and middle school principal. Linda got together with Siobhan and Chris back in August of 2021, and we thought it would be a great conversation to reflect on what she and her colleagues have accomplished over these past months, as well as what she herself has learned from this unique community, along with her thoughts on wellness, equity, voice, and connection.
