Community Health Nurse (RN)

Dr. Myron and Joyce Glick opened the doors of Jericho Road Family Practice (JRFP) at 184 Barton Street on Buffalo’s West Side. Their goal was (and still is) to provide excellent medical care to all who walk through the doors, regardless of their ability to pay. In addition to serving patients from Buffalo, JRFP began caring for a large number of refugees, many of whom had never seen a doctor or received proper medical care before coming to America. The Glicks recognized the connection between physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Providing excellent medical care was not enough, but a medical practice with limited resources could not do any more. So, as an expression of the heart behind the medical services, Jericho Road Ministries (JRM) was born. Founded in 2003, the ministry sought to demonstrate God’s compassion for every person by fighting poverty at its roots, coming alongside JRFP to address the non-medical needs of the community. JRM developed a wide spectrum of programming, from mentoring pregnant refugee mothers to helping clients navigate Social Services to providing interpretation support.
