Administration team

Our administrative team is responsible for business operations and making sure things run smoothly. They ensure that our hospital has the tools we need to provide the high quality, compassionate care you and your family expect.

  • Michelle Welch

  • My family and I moved to Brighton from Portland, Oregon.  Both my husband and I grew up in Colorado so it has been wonderful to be back home with friends and family.  I have two little girls, Abby is 3 and Emily is 1.  I have worked in the tax and accounting industry for the past 8 years and was looking for a change of pace when I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to join the CPH team.
  • Somer Brady, PHR

  • Associate Administrator Somer Brady recently completed her professional certification in Human Resources, and has taken Health Administration courses at Metro State College. She has worked at CPH for over two years, and looks forward to a long term career in the veterinary field, continuing to develop her management and human resources skills. Somer enjoys spending time with her own pets, a 2 year old Rottweiler named Bueller, a cat called Meiz, and (she didn’t give this dog’s name! Insert it here), a 7 year old mixed breed dog.
  • Jim Nash, MHA, CVPM

  • After serving as a Warrant Officer/Aviator in the US Army, Jim attended the University of Florida where he completed a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. After graduation, Jim began his healthcare career in human medicine. He had the opportunity to learn about all aspects of hospital business operations, including billing, collections, insurance contracting, reimbursement and patient service. Jim earned his Masters in Healthcare Administration at the University of Florida in 2003. In 2004, Jim became the Hospital Administrator at Community Pet Hospital, a 5 DVM general practice. Over the next 5 years, he helped grow and develop Community Pet Hospital into a 10 DVM, 24 hour, multi-site, general and emergency hospital. In addition to leading Community Pet Hospital, I am a part time consultant and successfully completed the Certified Veterinary Practice Manager process in 2008. We live in Thornton, CO, with our 3 children, Jacob, Ainsley and Annalise and share our home with 4 dogs, Cammie, Finn, Colby and Twitch. We enjoy camping, hiking and spending time outdoors with our family.
