It started with two rooms.
HealthBridge began humbly in two rooms at 1450 Gardiner Lane, Suite E. It wasn't a large facility or the finished vision. It was simply the first step.
Founded by Dr. Christie Cooper, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, HealthBridge grew from her years of experience as a nurse, Family Nurse Practitioner, educator, and healthcare advocate - and from a calling to create something different for the people and communities she serves.
Those first two rooms represented faith, courage, commitment, and a willingness to begin before everything was perfectly in place.
As HealthBridge continued to grow, so did the vision: to build a healthcare experience rooted in meaningful relationships, compassionate care, education, wellness, and purpose.
You are more
than a diagnosis.
Every patient who walks through our doors brings a story, a family, experiences, goals, challenges, and hopes for the future.
That's why our approach looks beyond symptoms alone.
HealthBridge provides evidence-based, patient-centered healthcare while recognizing the importance of the whole person-mind, body, and spirit. We take time to listen, build meaningful relationships, and help our patients become, active participants in their health and wellness.
Seen.
We see you as an individual, not jus a diagnosis.
Heard.
We listen to your story and honor your voice.
Valued.
We value your time, your health, and your goals.
Care that reaches beyond our walls.
The vision for HealthBridge has never stopped at the clinic doors.
In 2026, HealthBridge Wellness Foundation, Inc., was established to extend that mission into the community through health and wellness education, outreach, community partnerships, access to resources, and charitable support.
Together, HealthBridge Healthcare Clinic and HealthBridge Wellness Foundation represent a broader vision for healthier individuals, stronger families, and more connected communities.
