2026 Chairperson's Dinner Program

Dear Bridgeway Friends and Partners,

It continues to be a privilege to serve as Chair of Bridgeway Behavioral Health Services’ Board of Trustees and to work alongside an extraordinary team of professionals whose compassion, integrity and dedication help individuals and families navigate challenging times, pursue recovery and build fulfilling lives. As we gather for our 2026 Chairperson’s Dinner, Give Hope

a Home: A Legacy of Impact. A Future of Recovery, I am reminded that behind every program, every partnership and every achievement is an opportunity to change a life. That is what makes Bridgeway so extraordinary. Our Center for Integrated Outpatient Services in Elizabeth represents an exciting step forward in our commitment to expanding access to care and helping more individuals find hope, stability and the support to thrive in their communities. Tonight, we are proud to recognize the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, the City of Summit and the Summit Police Department for their meaningful contributions and their shared commitment to making a difference. Thank you for believing in Bridgeway and in the individuals and families whose lives we touch. Together, we are carrying forward Bridgeway’s legacy of service and strengthening the communities we serve, one person at a time. With Deep Gratitude,

Marlene G. Baldinger, RN, ARM, CPHQ, CPHRM, CPASRM Board Chair and Event Chair Bridgeway Behavioral Health Services
