Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is a 226 bed acute care facility providing a range of hospital services.

Marty Brueggemann, MD, of Emergency Associates of Yakima (EAY) completed his first Iron Man triathlon last month at Panama City Beach, Florida, finishing 1016th out of 2800.  The race consisted of a 26.2 mile run, 112 mile bike ride, and 2.4 mile swim.  No stranger to competition, Dr. Brueggemann has competed in 10 full marathons, six half marathons, two half-ironman triathlons, three Olympic triathlons, and numerous other races before tackling the full Ironman challenge.

Dr. Brueggemann kept a running blog as he trained and competed in the Ironman contest.  On his blog, he credits hard work and the support of his family for his success.  Dr. Brueggemann says where he placed in the competition was not as important as the accomplishing his goal.

“This was never about winning or qualifying, it was always about proving to myself that I am capable of anything that I set my mind towards accomplishing,” say Dr. Brueggemann.

Dr. Brueggmann is a board-certified Emergency Physician with Emergency Associated of Yakima and is on the Medical staff at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital.
