Kali Bridges, RN, MSN, CFNP


Kali started her nursing career after graduating with a Bachelor’s in Nursing from Missouri Southern in 2012. She then worked at Mercy Hospital on the pediatric floor for 4 years where her love for caring for kiddos began. After graduating from South University with her Master’s in Nursing and becoming a Certified Nurse Practitioner in 2016, she began her provider career at Pediatric Associates. Kali absolutely loves working with the kiddos of the four states. She currently lives in her hometown of Neosho MO and has lived there the entirety of her life. Kali married her high school sweetheart in 2016 and now has four wonderful children. Her oldest son, Barrett, only daughter Olivia, and she also has twin boys, Sutton, and Slone. Her family is her pride and joy. When she’s not working, Kali spends all her time with her family who loves to be outside and on the go. They love to travel to the beach and to the mountains. One of her other favorite things to do is sewing. Kali loves to make adorable outfits for the kiddos like onesies, hats, dresses, etc. Fun fact, before she became a nurse, she coached competitive cheerleading and competitive tumbling at Tumble Town Midwest in Neosho.
