A visit to the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum 🇺🇸

Our veterans recently spent the day in fellowship, reflecting on history, honoring those we’ve lost, and taking in the powerful stories that continue to live on to this day. Moments like these truly bring perspective and strengthen community. 🤝

At BRIDGES, we’re committed to serving those who served — creating moments such as these to show our gratitude and appreciation. Thank you for your sacrifice! 🎖️

A moment from our very own Sensory Room 🛋️

Mona Henriquez shares how the space creates a comfortable and welcoming environment for children and individuals with disabilities. By providing supportive resources and a sense of calm, the room is designed to help people feel at ease and supported when they need it most. 💙

Providing a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone is at the core of our mission. ✨



Description: At the beginning of the video, the Sensory Room and BRIDGES logo is shown across a blurred background. That background then comes into frame, revealing an interview-style shot of a woman wearing a white headband and a blue shirt with the BRIDGES logo on it. Behind her is a colorful scenery from the Sensory Room — including a blue wall filled with bubbles, tubes with bubbles in them with shifting colors, a tablet with dancing colors on it, and much more.

An inspiring morning with Wonder Girls — a nonprofit program dedicated to empowering middle school, high school, and college girls through confidence-building, leadership development, and community support. 💗

Their mission is to create a safe space where young women can grow, speak their truth, and develop the skills they need to succeed in whatever path they choose. 🙋‍♀️

Niko spoke with the girls about living with “invisible” disabilities, the stigma that can come with them, and his experience being in special education classes. He shared what those challenges felt like growing up and how perseverance, confidence, and support can help overcome barriers on the path to success. 🌟

Thank you to the team at Montefiore Nyack Hospital for your generosity and support of BRIDGES. Events like this truly strengthen our community and help create more opportunities for the individuals we serve. Thank you for making a difference! 💙

The Employee Celebrations Committee at Montefiore Nyack Hospital recently hosted another successful Super Bowl Pool fundraiser, bringing staff together for a fun tradition that also supports a meaningful cause.

This year, the proceeds benefited BRIDGES, a local nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in the community.

Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of employees, the initiative raised $800 for BRIDGES.

A special thank you to Dr. Semanczuk who generously donated his Super Bowl pool winnings back to BRIDGES, helping make this meaningful contribution possible.

Events like this reflect the spirit of generosity and community that lives within the Montefiore Nyack Hospital family. Thank you to all for participating!
