Care Coordinator/Social Worker/LPN

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. The joint venture's goal was to create an environment where diverse patients could direct their healthcare. We utilize our team members and include partnerships that strengthen the fabric of what we stand for as an organization: a world where health equity is celebrated through whole patient care. Through these partnerships, 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.
