Brief History

BridgeLine Place operated formerly as High Street Clubhouse, a program of Virginia Neurocare Foundation from 2001 to 2014.  In 2015, High Street Clubhouse became a program of The Bridge Line.  A name change occurred in late 2015 to decrease public confusion on the location and better reflect the program’s purpose.
