"Studies show that many patients who have less healthcare resources are less likely to get the specialty care that they need. At the Bridge, we incorporate a holistic approach to healthcare, addressing the needs of the whole person including body, mind, spirit and emotions for optimum health and wellness. We will encourage personal accountability and empower our patients to become active and effective partners in the maintenance of their health," states Dr. LeRoy Graham, CEO and medical director of Bridge Atlanta Medical Center. "To address the needs of the uninsured and underserved families whose main concerns are medical bills and loss of income because of having to take time off to see a physician, we will be opened a couple of evenings and Saturdays. In Gwinnett County alone, there are over 35,000 citizens without healthcare. Our mission is to provide excellent care to those individuals."

The Bridge has an engaged and active board of directors comprised of Chairman Paul Hammonds, Vice-chairman Matt Molchan, Treasurer Jonathan Crane, Secretary Lisa Brown, Paul Carter, Jackie Morgan and Gerry Staton, each with defined and validated skill sets in the areas of healthcare, governance, finance, fundraising, government relations, pastoral care and industry relations.
