Our History

Peggy Burlison, a parent of a child with a disability, founded Bridges of Indiana in August of 2000. Armed with a firm commitment to home and community based services, coupled with a unique perspective on how these services should be delivered, Bridges of Indiana was established and the vision of a parent became a reality.

As the need for quality home based services increased Bridges of Indiana expanded its own style of service to many other individuals throughout Indiana. Today, there are offices in Evansville, Vincennes, Terre Haute, Indianapolis and surrounding areas.

Peggy Burlison currently has turned her attention to further developing Bridges Council which is a not for profit organization with a mission to assist individuals with disabilities in creative ways that are not covered by current Waiver systems. Her son, Jonathan Burlison, is the CEO and continues to further develop her vision of assisting aging populations and families and individuals with disabilities.
