Neighborhood's CHWs are engaged with the community, participating in many community events throughout the year. To meet with a member of our community health team, call 716-875-2904.
Neighborhood Health Center has been an established Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) provider since 2012 and is one of more than 200 programs nationwide that is federally funded to specifically serve individuals experiencing homelessness.
Neighborhood’s HCH program provides comprehensive primary care, oral health, mental health and substance use services, as well as supportive community health services at no cost to the patient.
Neighborhood's providers and outreach workers are also out in the community weekly to help connect people to the primary and preventive care services we offer.
If you or someone you know is living on the street, shelter, transitional housing, staying with friends or family temporarily, in a permanent supportive housing facility, or has experienced any of the arrangements above in the last year and is in need of primary and preventive care (and/or in need of a referral to supportive services), contact our community health team at 716-875-2904 or stop by any of our offices.
Neighborhood’s Health in Motion Mobile Unit got its start in 2019 as a partnership with Say Yes Buffalo, Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York, the John R. Oishei Foundation, Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, and Buffalo Public Schools to extend Neighborhood’s services to students on Buffalo Public Schools campuses. In 2023, Neighborhood became the sole owner of the mobile unit and began extending its reach by adding community events in addition to the services offered at Buffalo Public Schools.
