FREE health, wellness, and social services for all individuals and families
The Bridges Way
Provide Free Health Services to Those in Need
Bridges Health is committed to providing judgment-free services. We believe insurance status or income should not impact your access to health services. This is why all our services are free to everyone. We do not require health insurance or bill health insurance.
Immerse Students in Interprofessional Education & Practice
To prepare our future health care workers, we provide students a way to learn in community-based settings and teach how to deliver and lead in health, wellness, and social care by collaborating effectively with other professionals.
Client & Family-Centered Care
Under the supervision of licensed clinical faculty, students have the time and skills to focus on giving you the attention you deserve. We are receptive to your needs and providing you the best care possible.
How Can We Help You Meet Your Health Goals?
"I love seeing and learning from the students. If they were not here, I would not pay attention to things like my health, you know blood pressure, weight, what I eat. I don’t have insurance so going to the clinic is not an option for me. Knowing this is here gives me hope."

Health Coaching
We all have lots going on. Sometimes our health goals take the back seat. Need a little help getting going? Not sure where to start? Working with our students gives you the chance to work 1-on-1 to create goals and a plan that works for you.
Get Results From Home
“I have been participating in the Virtual Bridges exercise program for several months and I love it. The students are helpful, considerate, friendly and concerned that the program works for you. They make modifications when necessary to accommodate your ability level and make sure you are feeling safe and secure. The Zoom computer platform is easy to navigate and provides audio and visual experience. You feel like you are in a regular fitness class. I highly recommend this exercise option and look forward to seeing you in a future class.” – Bridges Health Client
