Neighborhood Health Center Riverway

Neighborhood Health Center Riverway is a health clinic located at 1569 Niagara St in Buffalo, NY. It is one of several locations operated by the Neighborhood Health Center of Western New York, a non-profit, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). This specific location opened in 2022 after the renovation of a 26,000-square-foot warehouse. The clinic was established to address the need for quality, affordable primary care on Buffalo's west side, where many residents previously lacked a primary care provider. The clinic offers a full spectrum of integrated healthcare services under one roof. These services include internal and family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN), pediatrics, dentistry, behavioral health, nutrition counseling, and podiatry. Additionally, the facility features an on-site pharmacy, making it a convenient "one-stop-shop" for patients' healthcare needs. As an FQHC, the Neighborhood Health Center has a mission to provide care to all Western New Yorkers, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. The organization accepts most insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, and offers a sliding fee scale for uninsured patients based on income and household size. The Riverway location, like its sister clinics, is focused on a team-based approach to care, where doctors, specialists, and other staff work together to promote overall health and wellness for their patients. The clinic also works to address social determinants of health and has been recognized with a "Brick x Brick" award for its reconstruction and expansion project, demonstrating its commitment to the community.
