We are pleased to welcome a few new Bridge Model replication sites this spring!

In early April, BMNO trainers traveled to Belton, Texas to train two Area Agencies on Aging: the Central Texas Aging, Disability & Veterans Resource Center at the Central Texas Council of Governments and the Area Agency on Aging at the Heart of Texas Council of Governments. The Central Texas Council of Governments highlighted their care transitions program and the Bridge Model training in a recent blog post.

At the end of May, our trainers will return to Georgia for our third training with Georgia Area Agencies on Aging – the first with one AAA in 2012, the second with 5 AAAs in 2014, and now returning to train new staff from previously-trained sites and to train a few new AAAs as well. Many thanks to the Georgia Division on Aging Services for being so supportive of Georgia Aging Network organizations in developing their service lines to include transitional care programs!

We welcome these new Bridge Model replication sites to the Bridge Model Collaborative, and we look forward to all of the insight and new ideas that they will bring to the Bridge community!
