It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” ~ Nelson Mandela Dear Okaloosa Community Resident, In July 1966, Bridgeway Center Inc. (BCl) aka Okaloosa Guidance Clinic, began operations as a non-profit 501 (C) (3) behavioral healthcare center for Okaloosa County. For nearly 50 years, Bridge- way Center Inc., has provided a high level of comprehensive services to Okaloosa County children, adults, and families in need of behavioral healthcare. Our 10,000 patient visits count on us to help them maintain and lead healthy and successful lives in the commu- nity. Many of BCI's patients struggle with multiple financial and personal obstacles which makes obtaining treatment for themselves or their family members even more difficult. BCI continues to meet the needs of our patients and expand treatment options into new areas for all ages and levels of care. We ensure good corporate governance is one of the ways we protect your interests for your “public safety.” This means we take a stand for all patients to treat them with respect, dignity, compassion, and fairness, regardless of their total household income. This gives Okaloosa residents the best chance for their behavioral healthcare success. We are also extremely pleased to report that approximately 92 cents of every dollar BCI spends goes towards the services we provide to our patients and clients. We sincerely thank all of you. Thank you for caring about our com- munity, and for your continued support of BCI. Sincerely, s W.
