Jericho Road has provided holistic medical care to under-served communities, such as immigrants and refugees, in Buffalo since 1997. However, their mission to improve the healthcare of marginalized people has not stopped at local communities, as they also operate clinics globally. Learn more about Jericho Road's global work here.
Last year, UB students traveled to Jericho Road's global medical outreach program in Nepal. This year, we will be traveling to the Adama Martha Memorial Community Health Center in the Kono District of Sierra Leone.
This April, we hope to improve the lives of those in need with informed global healthcare while gaining the skills to become well-rounded, globally minded physicians. We are so grateful for your support as we embark on this journey in partnership with Jericho Road and the Adama Martha Memorial Community Health Center.
