Today, we celebrate all the doctors and clinicians at Neighborhood Health Center who provide patient-centered care and truly believe healthcare is a right. National Doctors’ Day is a nationwide observance dedicated to honoring physicians for their expertise, responsibility, and continued commitment to patient care.

Neighborhood recognizes the role doctors play in the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities, often during critical and life-changing moments.

Thank you and happy Doctors' Day to all of our Neighborhood doctors!

Too many Western New Yorkers are struggling to afford their prescription drugs and get the care they need. With rising healthcare costs and federal threats to coverage, every community will feel the impact—longer wait times, higher costs, and fewer services.

Our lawmakers in Albany must act now to protect the 340B Drug Pricing Program for health centers and pass 340B Prescription Drug Anti-Discrimination Act (A.6222/S.1913). The program helps health centers such as Neighborhood provide affordable medications and reinvest in patient care.

Encourage your New York State representatives to protect 340B Drug Pricing.

We enjoyed meeting everyone at the second annual LeadHERship Expo over the weekend!

The event was hosted by Buffalo Masten District Councilwoman Zeneta B. Everhart and Erie County Legislator Taisha St. Jean-Tard at Erie County Community College’s Burt Flickinger Center. The Expo celebrates Women’s History Month and provides an opportunity for attendees to hear from women leading in their fields, connect with organizations, and shop from small women-owned businesses.

Today we are celebrating $400,000 in state aid for Neighborhood Health Center capital improvements!

Thank you to New York State Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes and Assemblymember Jon D. Rivera for the funding. It will support construction and infrastructure upgrades at a new Neighborhood Health Center location at 2497 Delaware Avenue, which is projected to open as Neighborhood’s seventh site in Western New York in summer 2026, and Neighborhood’s Riverway location at 1569 Niagara Street.

Assemblymember Rivera provided the initial $200,000. Then, today, Majority Leader Peoples-Stokes announced she is providing an additional $200,000 bringing the total to $400,000. They presented the check to Neighborhood's President and CEO Joanne Haefner this morning at the Delaware Ave. site.

Our mission at Neighborhood is to welcome all Western New Yorkers for high quality, patient-centered primary healthcare. We envision a Western New York where all enjoy their highest level of health and wellbeing. Thank you for demonstrating your belief in our work!

The capital campaign for the Delaware Ave. site is ongoing. If you'd like to support it too, you can do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmjK--mBFjjTdGN7WflFCAHMkwugCwqxu8DF-4he8ApLjyWw/viewform?usp=header

📚On this International Read to Me Day (and every day!) Neighborhood is proud to partner with Reach Out and Read.

Reach Out and Read provides books to provider offices, so kids receive a free, age-appropriate book at well-child visits. The Reach Out and Read literacy model is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and serves 4.8 million children across every U.S. state every year.

Caregivers are encouraged to read to children at every age. Reading aloud together, telling stories, and sharing books help forge a meaningful connection between caregiver and child—they create moments that matter.

What’s your child’s favorite book? What was your favorite book when you were little? 🐛

International Read to Me! Day is an international campaign aimed at encouraging children to remind adults in their village to read to them often.
