Peachtree Settlement Funding Invites Dr. Mercedes Dullum As Motivational Speaker.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2006--On a periodic basis, Peachtree Settlement Funding ("Peachtree") invites South Florida business executives to speak of personal and professional achievements to motivate its employees. Most recently, Peachtree asked cardiac surgeon Mercedes K.C. Dullum, M.D. of the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Florida.

Deborah Benaim, Peachtree's Vice President and Director of Structured Settlements, learned of Dr. Dullum after reading an interview with her in Balance magazine. "She is one of the few women in the country that can do minimally invasive heart surgery. I thought this would be a great opportunity to hear a true pioneer in such a male-dominated field."

On August 8, 2006, Dr. Dullum gave a 2-hour presentation to the Structured Settlements division, covering topics from her close family upbringing in Jamaica, to her extensive medical schooling and practice in Washington D.C., to her move to Florida to join the Cleveland Clinic as the only female board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon in South Florida.

Dullum talked extensively about her true passion - the human heart. She imparted her wisdom and life experiences, as well as providing Peachtree's employees gifts to take home with them: a heart-healthy cookbook, information about the Cleveland Clinic, and their very own pedometer!

After her visit, Dullum thanked Benaim for the opportunity to meet with and speak to Peachtree's employees. "You are an incredible group of people and have an amazing organization. I learned a great deal from you." Dullum also appreciated the thank-you gift from Structured Settlements - a bound book printed with employees' personal acknowledgements addressed to her. "It means a great deal to me."

The book is something she can keep forever, but the education Dr. Dullum provided for a healthy heart is a gift Peachtree employees can keep forever.
