He was a paramedic for 12 years, a Registered Nurse in Emergency Care for 14 years, and has been a Nurse Practitioner for two years.

Bridgeman and his wife of 33 years, Amy, reside in Thida. They have two children, Josh and Madeline, who married Charla and Seth. They have one granddaughter named Emma. On his time off, Bridgeman enjoys camping, woodworking, and golfing.
Womack earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Harding University. He received a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Arkansas. Prior to becoming an APRN, Womack worked as a Registered Nurse (RN) in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Most recently he worked as a Charge Nurse in ICU, acting as rapid response.
“I became interested in serving as a family nurse practitioner because I wanted to become a leader in my patient’s healthcare,” said Womack. “My goal is to encourage patients to seek preventative care so that underlying health conditions can be caught at an earlier stage. In addition, I plan to make patient’s experiences with me as efficient as possible. I hope to encourage a healthy way of life and aid patients in achieving optimal health.”
Womack and his wife, Kaitlin, reside in Horseshoe Bend. They have one dog, Pumpkin, and enjoy hiking, camping, and being in the outdoors. Womack is a native of Arkansas, graduating from Melbourne High School.
“I’m thankful to be a part of the Southside and Batesville communities,” said Womack. “I hope to serve as a healthcare leader and look forward to assisting my patients in their healthcare journey. I’m grateful for this opportunity to serve others, and I look forward to meeting new patients.”
