Terre Haute / Indiana / United States
One individual, Peggy Burlison, the parent of a child with a disability, started Bridges of Indiana in August of 2000. Bridges was established to serve only her son and a small group of other families within the community. By early 2002, the business was moved into a centrally located office building and Jonathan Burlison, Peggy s son, joined the business. The mission of the company is to provide the services necessary to allow individuals with disabilities, with the support of their families and friends, to live, learn and work where they choose within the community. Some of the services the company offers include state waiver programs, family settings, independent and supported living services, respite services and attendant care for the aged and disabled. Bridges of Indiana has locations in Evansville, Terre Haute and Vincennes, Ind.
