Sharon Bruno brings more than 20 years of experience as a registered nurse and is currently the Vice President at Longevity Solutions Inc., the medical technology company offering a new paradigm in proactive health care. An equal passion for entrepreneurship enhances Bruno's medical expertise: the two talents combined make her the driving force and the face of Longevity Solutions. Bruno's medical career began in her native Philippines at the Lung Center of the Philippines. In 1999, she emigrated to the United States, where she completed training and nursing licensure in San Jose, Calif. In the early 2000s, Bruno vacationed on Marco Island, Fla., falling in love with its natural beauty. As a then-seasonal visitor, she began putting down roots in Southwest Florida by investing in and managing real estate on Marco Island. Always a dynamo brimming with energy, she simultaneously joined the nursing team at Cleveland Clinic in Naples. A bi-coastal lifestyle soon followed with dual careers in Florida and California. In both states, she continued her real estate ventures as well as invested in and opened several start-up businesses, including restaurants. As an entrepreneur, she mastered an array of business skills - from accounting to management to marketing - which proved indispensable to her future launch of Longevity Solutions.
When Cleveland Clinic was acquired by HMA in 2006, Bruno helped with the launch of its Heart Center, working with the finest cardiologists and nurses.

In 2015, a Physicians Regional colleague was appointed as CEO of a new Naples start-up, Landmark Hospital, the long-term acute-care facility founded by William Kapp, M.D. The challenge to Bruno's entrepreneurial spirit was irresistible, and she joined Landmark's then-skeletal staff as Chief Nursing Officer, charged with staffing and management, as well as shepherding the hospital through myriad state inspections.
Bruno's training was well-adapted to Landmark: she attended to patients requiring long-term treatment. But she began thinking, "there has to be a better way."
Coincidentally, Dr. Kapp attended an exponential medical conference in San Diego that focused on new technology enabling proactive health care, especially whole-genome sequencing, advanced MRIs, and regenerative therapies. Inspired by what he gleaned from peers at the pioneering Human Longevity, Inc., he initiated plans for creating what
