About Us
Bridging Care was created as a joint venture between two 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations: Washington Academy of International Medical Graduates (WAIMG) and Angels for Angels.

It is through these partnerships that we strive to empower the community we serve. We track and define our success through outcomes that lift barriers, create access, and address community-identified needs.
