Jericho Road Community Health Center provides high-quality medical care for the whole family — especially people with limited access to medical care, like families living in poverty, refugees, and immigrants. We provide full-spectrum care to all, even those without insurance or the ability to pay. All of our services exist for and with our patients in mind.
Jericho Road Community Health Center (JRCHC) invites proposals from local artists to conceptualize and create an original art installation for our 2026 annual fundraiser. The installation will serve as an impactful visual and thematic centerpiece, inspiring reflection on justice, compassion, and community health. The selected artwork will become a permanent part of JRCHC’s collection and used for future advocacy efforts.
Amid Goma’s instability, Jericho Road’s Mugunga Center supports families with nutrition, women’s economic empowerment, vocational training, and education. Clinic Director Chantal Mandro’s recent report highlights community challenges and steady progress.
These stories are not just history; they are invitations. Invitations to look inward, move beyond awareness, and step into reflection, action, and love. The change our world needs is not abstract. It is personal. It is communal. And some things will only change if we move—if you move. Black History Month calls us not just to remember resilience and resistance, but to join it. The change ahead is meant for us to lead, together.
In his retirement, John continued his life-long practice of getting close to the “gritty reality” of this world. When he was presented with an opportunity to get trained by Justice For Migrant Families and New York Immigration Coalition for their Court Accompaniment program, he signed up.
In Sierra Leone, a mining tragedy exposes how environmental injustice, poverty, and power shape community health. This reflection explores why healing must extend beyond clinical care.
During these exceptionally challenging times, volunteers in all given areas have been a bridge in helping to advance our wonderful mission. Being at Vive reminds me of the good in the world, and seeing people genuinely supporting each other is a beautiful thing!
A firsthand reflection on resilience and faith in Sierra Leone, highlighting Jericho Road Community Health Center’s global mission to provide compassionate, equitable care.
Four years ago, Jericho Road Community Health Center launched a bold idea: to inspire young people from Buffalo’s East Side to see themselves in medicine. Today, that idea has grown into the Empowering & Mentoring in Medicine (EMIM) Summer Internship Program, a hands-on experience that’s shaping the future of healthcare—one student at a time.
Since 2021, 39 high school students have completed the EMIM program. Of those, 15 are now pursuing higher education in medicine—an achievement that stands as a powerful testament to what early exposure, mentorship, and opportunity can do.
Dr. Glick mentions one refugee family from Somalia that made a big impact on him as a young doctor:
“In Kenya, they stayed in a refugee camp and then in 1998 arrived in Buffalo as refugees. They found their way to Jericho Road. Thus began a long friendship. With assistance, including Medicaid, they gradually acclimated to life in a new country, learned English, got good jobs with private health insurance, raised their family and became citizens. Today they have 11 grandchildren, and three of their children are doctors.”
A small investment in families who have had to leave everything behind, has proven a worthy use of the Medicaid program. At Jericho Road, we believe that everyone deserves access to healthcare, no matter what.
Assemblymember Jon D. Rivera joined Jericho Road Community Health Center to celebrate the unveiling of a new playground at Vive Shelter. Funded through a $250,000 investment, this outdoor play area provides refugee children with a safe, healing space to play, socialize, and begin rebuilding their lives in Buffalo.
