I'm Andrew Smart, and I serve as Chief Marketing Officer of The Bridge Health Recovery Center. I've built businesses, lost everything twice, and rebuilt with systems — so I know what it's like to be at the bottom looking for a way back up. That's exactly why this place matters to me. The Bridge is a way back up for people who had run out of them.
What The Bridge is
The Bridge is a 21-day immersive residential recovery program on a 22-acre campus in New Harmony, Utah — quiet high desert just outside Zion. Guests arrive from all over the world, often after they've exhausted every option traditional medicine had to offer, still struggling with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, and trauma. They don't get another prescription and a shrug. They get a real program, real people, and — for thousands of them — real results.

Why donors and sponsors matter now
The Bridge is expanding its campus so it can help far more people than ever before. But the hardest truth in this work is simple: many of the people who need this program the most are the ones who can least afford it. Years of chronic illness drain savings, careers, and hope long before someone finds their way to us.
That's where you come in. The Bridge is supported by The Bridge Charity — the Bridge Institute for Recovery Sciences, an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every dollar donated helps cover the cost of the program for guests who could never pay their own way in.
These aren't statistics. They're mothers, veterans, teachers, and kids' parents who were told "there's nothing more we can do" — and found out that wasn't true.
Sponsor a guest
The most direct way to change a life here is to sponsor a guest through the 21-day program. The charity's scholarship campaign has a goal of sponsoring 100 guests who otherwise couldn't attend. A sponsorship doesn't buy a service — it gives someone their life back, and it ripples out to every person who loves them.
Ways to give
- Make a one-time donation. Every gift, large or small, goes toward putting real people through a program that works.
- Give monthly. Recurring support lets The Bridge plan ahead and reserve spots for guests in crisis.
- Become a corporate sponsor. Businesses can sponsor guests, fund program costs, or back the campus expansion — and stand publicly behind real recovery.
- Sponsor a specific guest. Fund a scholarship seat in the next 21-day session.
Because The Bridge Charity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 73-1656951), donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
