ESTES PARK – Dr. Bridget Dunn, who has been a family-medicine practitioner at Estes Park Health since 2009, has been named the medical center’s chief of staff.

After a year with Exempla Denver Family Physicians, Dunn spent 10 years on the clinical faculty at Swedish Family Medicine Providers Inc., and as an assistant clinical professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.

She came to the Estes Park Medical Group in September 2009.

In her free time, Dunn competes in triathlons and other road and trail races. Since 2006, she has also volunteered her time and talent as a physician at Kent Mountain Adventure Center, which is owned by her husband, Harry Kent.

For 10 seasons, Dunn served as the women’s basketball team physician at the University of Denver and worked three years as a volunteer physician for the Colorado Youth At Risk Mentoring Program.
