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

  • Michelle and her family moved to Brighton from Portland, Oregon. She and her husband grew up in Colorado so it has been wonderful to be back home with friends and family. She has two little girls; Abby is 3 and Emily is 1. She has worked in the tax and accounting industry for the past eight years and was looking for a change of pace when a lucky opportunity allowed her to join the CPH team.
