Bridges Community Memorial Health System has promoted Kimberly Bridges, registered nurse, as director of its nine Center for Family Health offices in Ventura County.

Bridges has been with the health system for 10 years and served as manager of the Oxnard-Saviers Road Center for Family Health office for the past four years.

Previously, Bridges was a clinical nurse in the intensive care unit, cardiac care unit and emergency room at Community Memorial Hospital and later served as the hospital's house supervisor.

In her new capacity, Bridges will maintain direct oversight of all Center for Family Health offices, supervise their relationships with independent physicians and serve as the nursing liaison to the CMHS Nurse Directors Council.

Before joining CMHS, Bridges worked in both clinical and educator capacities for Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, UCLA Medical Center and the Los Angeles City Fire Department.

The system's nine Center for Family Health offices provide outpatient medical care to more than 20,000 patients throughout Ventura County. The centers are staffed by boardcertified physicians and medical professionals.
