Greater Detroit Area Health Council On November 8, GDAHC will be presenting the Sy Gottlieb Award to Mr. Paul Bridgewater, President and CEO of Detroit Area Agency on Aging at Salute to Healthcare. Mr. Bridgewater began his career at DAAA as a gerontologist in 1980 and by 1986, he became the president and CEO. Under his leadership, the agency has grown from having 12 to more than 120 employees with an annual budget of over $50 million and the operations continue to substantially expand. He is credited for establishing one of the country’s largest Meals on Wheels programs; developing a unique program called Diabetes Self-Management Training targeting Medicare recipients with diabetes without focusing on age; forming the Detroit Long Term Care System Change Task Force; and spearheading research through Wayne State University on health disparities among Detroit’s elderly which led to government initiatives for long term care reform.
