Beginning in 2009, Ms. Dreussi-Smith was approached by multiple healthcare providers and public health professionals as she adapted Bridges Out of Poverty to more closely align with health and healthcare. These conversations transferred her focus for Bridges Out of Poverty toward its implications for health systems and medical practice. She began presenting “Bridges Into Health” and worked closing with a number of healthcare providers and public health groups, which produced promising results using the Bridges lens. Today Ms. Dreussi-Smith continues her work in this area, as well as in developing new models for using Bridges Out of Poverty within every aspect and sector of the community. As a consultant, Ms. Dreussi-Smith’s presentations for aha! Process include A Framework for Understanding Poverty, Bridges Out of Poverty Health, Bridges to Health and Healthcare, Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World, Understanding and Engaging Under-Resourced College Students, and Hidden Rules of Class at Work.
