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.

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. 

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.
