Celebrating Hispanic Older Adults at NewBridge. For more than 30 years, NewBridge has supported Hispanic older adults through culturally relevant programming, beginning in 1991. Today, NewBridge offers classes, activities, and events conducted in Spanish, plus two bilingual Case Managers who provide advocacy and resource navigation throughout Dane County. During National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15), we celebrate the rich traditions, contributions, and experiences of Hispanic Americans, and we're proud to honor and support our Hispanic older adult community throughout the year.

Activities for All Older Adults
Volunteer-led and collaborative programs open to all older adults. For more information, please call our main number: (608) 512-0000. We no longer have staff for coordination.
