About Bridges Health

Bridges Health is structured as an employee‑owned company—an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)—where the Bridges Health Employee Stock Ownership Trust holds direct or indirect ownership stakes in at least 90% of affiliated nursing homes, according to CMS data.

Around December 2020, the company fully transitioned to an ESOP structure, empowering staff as owners and contributing annual stock contributions to employees’ retirement plans at no cost to them.

Founded in Oklahoma as a skilled‑nursing and therapy facility management company, Bridges Health now operates approximately 34 facilities exclusively within the state, across areas including Altus, Mangum, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Muskogee, and Tahlequah.

As an ESOP, Bridges Health is privately held. Its leadership—specifically President & CEO Brett Coble—supports this ownership model, describing it as a retention and motivation tool in a challenging caregiving labor market.

The chain’s business lines focus on skilled nursing, therapy, post‑acute care, long‑term care, occupational/physical/speech therapy, assisted living and memory care—all delivered in 100% locally owned, employee‑operated facilities.
