Our Team
Our team consists of nurses, students, lawyers, managers, marketers, accountants and more, who can all proudly say, "We bridge the gap every day."
Though our mission is ambitious, we are equally as ambitious in our efforts to bridge the gap between the need for recovery and the financial means with which to fulfill it.
Our Mission
Bridge of Health’s members join the team with one set mission: eradicate pediatric cancer in Armenia one child at a time. So far, we have financially aided treatment for over 100 children, many of whom are currently in remission!
