Engage Monthly
July 2024
During the month of July, The Bridge Community Center had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Rebecca Auer, a distinguished member of the Ottawa Hospital, who has shown a keen interest in our work. Her visit provided an excellent opportunity for us to offer a deeper insight into the initiatives and programs we are passionate about, particularly our peer research efforts.

June 2024
It’s been a busy few months at The Bridge as we have reached the 6-month mark for many of our participants in the HPI study. This entails re-testing participants’ respiratory metrics through spirometry and oscillometry, and expanding the services available to many of our participants. This month, we also had the pleasure of welcoming a group of visiting physicians from China. We were able to bond, collaborate, and share the vision of The Bridge with them. We are also proud to welcome two new peer researchers to our team: Nicholas and Jacob.
