By JRCHC Suddenly, Janet slipped into the water. She felt like she would get pulled away but Antonio was able to help her gain stable footing. Yet as she did, she heard her cousin Zandra scream. Janet looked around to see what was going on: Debora, Janet’s 33-year-old sister, was gone. She and her five-year-old were being carried away, down the river. The rest of the family got out of the water as quickly as they could and began running down the river bank. They searched and searched until it was too dark to see.
By JRCHC Dr. Myron Glick, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Jericho Road Community
Health Center (JRCHC), has announced his decision to step down from his role as Chief Executive
Officer, effective later this year, but remain a family doctor and public health advocate with the
organization. A search committee formed by JRCHC’s Board of Directors is conducting a national
search for Glick’s successor. He will remain as CEO until a successor is named.
By JRCHC Today, the Buffalo News published an op-ed by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Allana Krolikowski. As the federal government seeks to reduce spending, cuts to Medicaid seem inevitable–although devastating. What happens when the poorest among us can no longer access healthcare? The answer is that all of us will be less healthy.
By JRCHC The 2024 presidential campaign was rife with rhetoric around migrants coming to the US to commit violent crimes. This narrative about a “migrant crime wave” was so inflammatory that it arguably bolstered its loudest advocate’s path to victory. But of course, it was simply not true.
By JRCHC In Buffalo and across the country, we in primary care bear the brunt of the brokenness of our healthcare system. It’s not possible to really understand the stress on primary healthcare if you don’t understand the brokenness of how we pay for healthcare and have access to healthcare, instead of having single payer national healthcare.
By JRCHC Knowing all that God has done for us – immensely good things – we are here as an Organization to treat “foreigners” and “strangers” and really, anyone in need, as our neighbors, friends and families. Above all, we must love them as we love ourselves.
By JRCHC The health center grounds have been transformed to prepare for this service and for the past 24 hours our staff and community members have been preparing a meal for everyone using an outdoor cooking fire. It is possible that the celebration will go long with too many speeches, but what a privilege to be here to celebrate 10 years of God’s faithfulness to Jericho Road in rural Sierra Leone. It will be an emotional service.
By God’s grace.
By JRCHC Seeing my Black patients on the East Side die younger, watching my sons experience this country as young Black men, and growing up with so many of my loved-ones being incarcerated, has made me understand the our present is still very much connected to our past history of slavery, segregation, and terror-lynching. I am determined to do something about it.
Buffalo’s commitment to supporting refugees shines through Jericho Road & VIVE, providing shelter, legal aid, and community resources amid policy changes.
By JRCHC In this moment of time in our nation, when it feels like there is so much division, too much hatred and not enough caring, it seemed important to challenge all of us to consider the basic notion of “Who is my neighbor?” And what does it mean to “love my neighbor?”
By JRCHC Today, we join the nation in mourning the loss and celebrating the remarkable life of former President Jimmy Carter. His legacy of dedication to human rights and to the poorest among us, lives on.
President Carter invested five decades of his post presidency life to champion bringing basic health to some of the poorest people in the world.
By JRCHC It was just a regular Tuesday when Jorge Ardila knocked on Vive’s door. He had been there before, but not quite like this. Jorge and his family stayed for just one night at Vive when he was a young boy. The next day they received a warm meal, some legal help, and took a bus to Canada. There, they were granted refugee, and eventually, citizenship status. Now a pilot, Jorge had a chance to come back to Buffalo–as he was scheduled to fly the Sabres to a game in Newark!

CHCANYS calls on Executive, Leaders to #ValueCHCs and support CHC Rate Reform, Telehealth Pay Parity in final budget deal.
Read our statement here: https://www.chcanys.org/about-us/news/final-budget-must-incl...
"The focus on jails as a salve to the ongoing crisis of opioid-related overdoses dismisses far better alternatives and likewise ignores the structural harms of incarceration."
We know what interventions work, jail isn't one of them.
URGENT: We need your help to ensure NY legislative leaders continue to push for a $150M investment in immigration legal services in the final NYS Budget!
