Bridging the Gaps Annual Symposium – Oct 6 & 7

Posted by Bridging the Gaps on August 12, 2025

This year celebrates 35 years of impact and innovation. This two-day event is open to the broader community, and designed to provide a forum for dialogue and networking opportunities around health and wellbeing.

Join us at the historic College of Physicians in Philadelphia on October 6 & 7 for an unforgettable celebration marking the 35th anniversary of Bridging the Gaps.

The Symposium event begins on the evening of October 6th with the premiere of the feature-length Bridging the Gaps documentary film directed by Peabody Award Winner André Robert Lee and narrated by acclaimed actor Wendell Pierce. The documentary was developed as a vehicle to spark multi-sector dialogue focused on improving access to health and well-being for all. 

October 7^th begins with highlighting the work of our students and community partners from the 2025 internship program, followed by Bridging the Gaps Awardee and Keynote Attorney Fred Gray (94-year-old, civil rights activist, state legislator, and attorney). At 11:00 AM, we will begin the Projects in Progress session, which will be followed by the closing session and reception, entitled, How do you know you are making a difference? Attendees will include alumni, community members, grantmakers, public health officials and other BTG stakeholders with the goal of leveraging BTG’s multi-sector approach to foster action, advocacy, networking, and partnerships through diverse expertise (CME/CEU’s available).
