What Is H&I and Bridge the Gap?

Hospitals & Institutions Committee

The primary purpose of the South Palm Beach County Hospitals & Institutions Committee is to carry the message of A.A. into facilities where people cannot otherwise attend outside meetings.  H&I Committee members bring meetings in detox, rehabilitation, and recovery facilities, as well as sober living communities established to help people recover from alcoholism.  If you would like to “carry the message” of recovery to other alcoholics by chairing a regular institution meeting, please come join us!

If you are interested in speaking at jails and prisons, contact the Corrections Committee for District 8 here: https://district8area15aa.org/committees/corrections/

Our Main Objectives

  1. Carry the message of A.A. into area facilities where alcoholics cannot otherwise attend outside meetings.
  2. Provide A.A.’s with a venue to efficiently connect with service opportunities by chairing and speaking at area facilities.
  3. Provide transparency to the AA body about our activities.

Quarterly Business Meeting – Next Meeting is Wednesday, August 19th 6:45pm at Delray Central House.

Bridge the Gap

Bridge the Gap Committee members help newcomers transition into AA.

Bridge the Gap Committee members help newcomers stay sober while they are transitioning from treatment or institutions by introducing them to A.A. meetings in their communities.  We know that creating a community in recovery is one of the Three Legacies that make for a successful recovery.
